when you right click on the task manager you get a long list of items that are using different things Move to Desktop Move to Activities (missing is available in right click on window decoration) Minimize Maximize Start New Instance Show all Launcher When Not Runnung (why it is [W]hen and not [w]hen [N]ot [n]ot running) More Actions Task Manager Settings... ------------------------------- close My grouping would be (already talk with Thomas) Start new Instance Show a Launcher When Not Running Task Manager Settings.. ----------------------- Move to -> (see above) Minimize Maximize More Actions (Use the submenu from window decoration) ----------------------- Close Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 97784 [details] task manager right click grouping
Grouping Activities and Desktops into Move to -> (see above) is a bad idea so no grouping for them, but the new sorting would be awesome.
This grouping/order is more akin to other Plasmoid context menus, so +1
Can you maybe make a mockup? The screenshot you attached confuses more than it helps...
The screenshot just depicts the status quo, you can safely ignore it. The suggested order described in the text should be clear enough, though, shouldn't it? Each line is an entry, ------- is a separator. Let me repeat it for you :P Start new Instance Show a Launcher When Not Running Task Manager Settings... ----------------------- Move to Desktop Activities Minimize Maximize More Actions > ----------------------- Close
One more thing: While we're at it, we should look for a better wording for "Show A Launcher When Not Running". It's very long even in English... One suggestion from Kai was "Pin To Task Manager". The opposite of that would be "Unpin From Task Manager". This would be consistent with what browsers do.
Just a heads-up: I'm very reluctant to make any feature/design changes to the Task Managers in this dev cycle because we're swapping out the entire code (for the first time in more than a decade), and it's more important to be regression-free for the moment. Trying to redesign something while you're rewriting it usually leads to disastrous instability.

Looks like someone forgot to close this when the code went in; closing now.
