SUMMARY For tablet or laptop devices that fold completely into a tablet form factor that run a full Plasma Desktop it would be nice to be able to swipe from an edge to launch the Kickoff Dashboard (full screen) launcher while still having a regular Kickoff Menu for Mouse-based input.
Interesting idea.
I have been starting to work on some Qt development last year and would like to look into this. Where can I find the source code?

Somewhere in here, I imagine: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/tree/master/src/kcmkwin/kwinscreenedges BTW this is not actually a duplicate of Bug 419188; it's a separate thing.
I suggested the exact same thing actually. I said "I a simple drop-down menu would suffice and the fullscreen application menu (forgot its name) should be the default setting, because it is the only one that is actually touch-friendly. " which is the launcher. Thanks for the link. I will have a look. Although I think it is not going to be so easy as there probably must be an launcher object present in Plasma, which would have to be made invisible. Not sure how that works.
There seems to already be plans about that in kwinglobals.h: // TODO: Hardcoding is bad, need to add some way of registering global actions to these. // When designing the new system we must keep in mind that we have conditional actions // such as "only when moving windows" desktop switching that the current global action // system doesn't support. enum ElectricBorderAction { ElectricActionNone, // No special action, not set, desktop switch or an effect ElectricActionShowDesktop, // Show desktop or restore ElectricActionLockScreen, // Lock screen ElectricActionKRunner, // Open KRunner ElectricActionActivityManager, // Activity Manager ElectricActionApplicationLauncher, // Application Launcher ELECTRIC_ACTION_COUNT, };
