Description kderocks38 2025-03-25 15:29:53 UTC 
Hi,

Steps to reproduce
Open a note from the taskbar
Use your klipper shortcut to show the klipper history

Faulty result : the note disappears, klipper appears
Expected result : the note does not disappear with klipper above it, select what needs to be paste, paste it, and keep on working inside the note

QT 6.8.2 ; kde 6.3; Fedora 41

This is expected; by design, only one plasma popup can be open at the same time unless you've forced one of them to stay open via the pin button.

I see that the Sticky Note widget doesn't have a pin button. We should add one so you can use the standard feature to accomplish your goal.

Allright, thank you for seeing further than the initial situation. Those notes openables with individual shorcuts are just so practical.

But if a note is pinned, can you still hide/show it using its dedicated shortcut?

applets/notes: add button to keep panel popup pinned open

Tray popups and several other widgets like Kickoff have the ability to
keep themselves pinned open. The notes widget does not have this, but
this would be convenient when interacting with a window and a popup note
or when opening the clipboard popup.

This change adds such a button to the button row, next to the configure
button.
