The KDEConnect applet has a hamburger menu that includes useful actions. However, keeping these actions inside the hamburger menu adds an extra click and extra mouse movements and therefore more friction.

I suggest that the hamburger menu be removed and the actions be replaced with icon only buttons with tooltips that explain what the buttons do. There is enough space to place the 4 icon-only buttons in place of the hamburger menu. The empty space beside the hamburger menu is currently wasted. See the attached screenshot.

At some point we deliberately changed it to this, but I agree that it's not ideal
