If I use the application menu mouse action item then it always displays the description of the items, rather than giving me an option for the program name. This can be confusing when you have multiple entries for web browser or terminal and can only distinguish between them based on the icon. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: It would be nice if the option was configurable as it is in the application menu settings when using the regular widget.
You can change it in the settings.
The application menu mouse action doesn't have any settings. Has this been added since 5.4.3?
I assumed you meant the Application Menu widget, sorry. The Application Launcher desktop mouse action is something else and has no settings. Reassigning bug.

Hi, I am new to KDE community. I'd love to contribute here. Can anyone please guide me regarding setting up dev environment and getting started with my first bug fix? Thanks, Sahil
I can easily change [plasma-workspace.git] / containmentactions / applauncher / launch.cpp line 58 to only display the program name, instead of the generic name if it exists. However I think the preference is probably better. Question is, would people prefer to have a preference for the mouse action as a separate thing to the Application Launcher widget? Or would it be okay to use the same preference? If you have multiple application launchers do they use different preferences?
Richard, I suggest to look how the "Standard Menu" action handles its configuration dialog. I tried assigning the "Standard Menu" to both the left and the right mouse button, and indeed the configuration could be changed individually, which makes sense. If you have more questions, please ask on the plasma-devel mailing list, not on this bug tracker.

I'll add an option for this.
