Description hsnnsnc 2020-02-24 12:10:19 UTC 
SUMMARY
It should be KSysGuard instead of the Systemmonitor application opened with CTRL + Esc keys. (Systemmonitor and KSysGuard are installed on the system together. Systemmonitor needs to be deleted)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press CTRL + Esc Systemmonitor will open
2. Click Application Menu, System, KSysGuard


OBSERVED RESULT
There are two applications that do the same job

EXPECTED RESULT
KSysGuard, which is more useful and more comprehensive than two applications that do the same job (Systemmonitor and KSysGuard), should be the default

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2020-02-26 19:03:08 UTC 
I agree, this is a but odd. Why not just open the whole thing?
Comment 2 hsnnsnc 2020-09-26 13:27:04 UTC 
It doesn't make much sense to have two apps with the same functionality.
Comment 3 Fonic 2020-10-17 15:48:14 UTC 
I second that. CTRL + ESC should open System Monitor (ksysguard). Don't see any reason to have System Activity since System Monitor offers the same and more.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2020-11-09 22:40:02 UTC 
The Ctrl+Esc process list is a bit lighter than ksysguard. Also, it always opens with the process list, whereas ksysguard remembers the active tab and opens there. When you need to kill a process, every second can count.

With ksysguard itself is in the process of being replaced, the situation has to be re-evaluated. It is possible that the replacement really obsoletes both ksysguard as well as the process list.
Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2020-11-09 22:41:22 UTC 
Regarding comment 3, feel free to reassign your hotkeys.

Thanks, good idea. Although my comment was more two the point of having two different apps for more or less the same task. That's confusing and unnecessary, especially for new users.

Interesting. Is a replacement already in development?

Although Plasma System Monitor is the default system monitoring application with Plasma 5.22 version, System Activity application continues to work with Ctrl+Esc.

So there are two system monitoring in the system. Also, Plasma System Monitor, such as KSysGuard, cannot be run from the Tools drop-down menu of the System Activity applet. Because there isn't. Removed KSysGuard was able to work with System Activity at least.

I think Plasma System Monitor should be KDE's only system monitoring application and should work with an easy shortcut (Ctrl+Esc).

This problem has been resolved with KDE Plasma 6. The error can be closed.
