Description Diego Gangl 2017-08-07 22:49:11 UTC

It'd be nice to have sessions available in the task manager jump list. So we can open a different session in another desktop/activity without having to go find kdev and drag the new window over.
I don't know if you can have submenus in jump lists, so maybe an option to open the sessions picker?

@Kai Uwe: Do you have an idea how to implement this? Which API in KDE do we have to use?

Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2017-08-08 08:17:24 UTC

There is currently no API to achieve this. Allowing third-party apps to provide dynamic jump list actions is a long-standing todo item of mine but this will take some more planning. Closing this now but I'll keep it in mind, Kate/KDevelop sessions actually would have been my demo implementation for this.

Add Sessions as jump list actions

This adds Kate sessions as jump list actions that allow to launch Kate with a specific session from application launchers and task manager.
