Requested: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/6edsa7/mute_app_on_middle_click_in_task_bar_option/

This seems straight forward enough to implement since the functionality and config UI is already implemented which can be used as an example.

Sounds like you've done a lot of code sleuthing already! Wanna submit a patch?

Comment 2 Fernando Mattioli 2020-07-14 22:51:24 UTC

Adding some information: middle-clicking volume and microphone icons in the taskbar already mutes audio/microphone (tested in plasma desktop 5.19.3).

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-07-16 02:29:31 UTC

You can left-click it, too. :) 

In fact I wonder if this feature is even needed anymore now that we have a nice discoverable interactive volume icon on Task Manager Tasks.

What do you think?

Comment 4 Fernando Mattioli 2020-07-16 20:39:34 UTC

I agree with you. At least for me, the volume icon and already available interactions should be enough.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2020-07-16 20:44:38 UTC

I agree, yeah.
