It would be cool to have an option to confgure Quicklaunch widget to use launchers configured for current activity only. So by default it would use some global setup but if user check option to restrict configuration for current activity, then it will show only launchers set and visible on this activity.

Reproducible: Always

Hi, I'm sorry we weren't able to get to your request yet. A lot has changed with Plasma and widgets like Quicklaunch specifically.

What you're looking to do can be achieved, currently, although you have to use more than one Quicklaunch widget to do it. Here is how I've done something similar.

- For anything I want on all activities, I have launchers on the panel. You can also add a quicklauncher to a panel and it will be shown on all activities.
- For things specific to an activity, I create a quicklauncher on the desktop of that activity.

Also, it's possible to pin applications to a panel, and set those to be in specific activities, or all activities (the default).

Activities are meant to separate groups of widgets, shortcuts etc (per the docs https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/plasma-desktop/plasma-desktop/activities-interface.html). Having each quicklauncher be tied to a specific activity seems to be by design.

If the current system doesn't work for you, please open a new feature request issue, with your current system details. Thanks!
