Description Podagric 2021-07-10 21:40:53 UTC 
SUMMARY

This type of alert is already used when activating read-only mode (https://i.imgur.com/Jvmb45M.png), and could also be used to notify when activating konsole silence, activity and completion monitors.
Currently they don't return anything to the user when activated, so it's not possible to know if it really was activated by pressing a shortcut, for example.

Along with suggestion https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140264, this considerably improves the user experience when using these options.

InlineMessages might be too intrusive for this. Kirigami PassiveMessages (what Android calls a "Toast") would probably be better for this IMO. To my knowledge there is no QWidgets-based implementation though.
