            Bug ID: 383693
           Summary: Pop-up panel as part of another panel or System Tray
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.9.4
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Panel
          Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: codestr...@posteo.org
  Target Milestone: 1.0

I am kind of still struggling to get the following under one hat:

1) Use a number of Plasma applets
2) Don't clutter desktop with applets that are seldom but regularly used (see
also https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382872))
3) Being able to group several applets that have a common purpose (e.g. there
are different system monitoring applets with each are good at a specific task
but neither combines all features)
4) Being still able to quickly access the applets (especially those that are
only occasionally used)

Recently, I try to use an auto-hide panel for different monitoring applets but
the downside is that there are only 4 screen edges and on either side it
bothers when the mouse is accidentally touching it (which causes the panel to
appear) while trying to click buttons or using scrollbars on the current
application window.

Today, I had the following idea:

What about being able to create a panel that can be opened or closed by
clicking an icon in the main panel or the system tray? This way, the panel is
always out of the way when not needed, can be accessed quickly and is still
fully configurable with applets.
