Description Dominik Kummer 2019-02-21 13:52:48 UTC 
Adding tags to applications in kmenuedit which are shown as prefix in the window title

Workflow:
1. Add new application launcher with kmenuedit
2. Specify an application tag
3. As application launches the tag prefixes the window title and eliminates/replaces the window index for multiple similar windows if tag is present.
4. Add specific rules for the window by regex title matching ^tag: .*$

The results are more versatile window behaviors on multiple screens with several different tasks on several virtual desktops and activities.

KWin has nothing to do with applications or whatever is specified in kmenuedit.
