Bug ID: 444608
Summary: Launch applications from Panel/Dock
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-overview
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
With the overview effect pretty much usable, from what I could see, I was
wondering if there would be new features that could be allowed if compared to
Parachute. Because of the way Parachute worked, if you had a dock from Latte
set to show above maximized windows, it would allow the dock to show and be
still interactible with Parachute open, allowing to launch applications from
the dock.
With the new overview effect, because it is not a maximized window, a feature
that allows to launch applications from a plasma panel or a latte dock would
need to be actually implemented instead of using a workaround. From what
Michail told me for such feature to exist for Latte, support would need to come
from KWin first and Vlad told me through emails that X11 is the main blocker
due to some of its input handling but would it be possible? If not, what about
on Wayland? To launch applications from the panel or dock on overview would
give Plasma, similar features to the iPadOS's dock, Gnome's dash and things
like that.
Currently, although the panel is visible from overview, it cannot be interacted
with. Any attempt would leave the effect. And the dock from latte is not even
displayed.
