            Bug ID: 471055
           Summary: Feature Request: Option to disable category change on
                    hover. (require click)
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: master
          Platform: Archlinux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
          Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

  Target Milestone: 1.0

When you open the application launcher, if your mouse happens to hover over
another category then the listed icons change to that category.

99% of the time I am launching things from my favorites section, but sometimes
when I open the application launcher I accidentally hover over a category, so I
have to switch back to favorites or just double tap the super key to close and
reopen the menu.

I used to use a widget called Simple Menu: https://store.kde.org/p/1169537/

It had an option that disabled category switch on hover, you had to actually
click on a category in order to change the category. I loved this, it was
perfect!

I stopped using simple menu for a few reasons:
1. anytime I installed a new application, the favorites menu would become empty
until I clicked into a category then back to favorites.
2. it was not resizeable. (application launcher is if you hold down the super
key then use the right mouse button to drag)
3. application launcher now has a favorites section that looks so similar to
the simple menu.
