What tray are you expecting to be opened with this gesture?

Comment 2 Mors Mortium 2024-05-03 20:05:36 UTC

The tray residing in the panel, on the right side, same as the "Application Launcher" gesture opening the launcher that is in the panel, on the left side. It would be like clicking/tapping the upwards arrow, which then turns into a downwards arrow and shows a window called "Status and Notifications", from which individual hidden tray items can be controlled, like "KDE Connect", "Disks & Devices", "Clipboard", "Weather Report" and others.
