Description ryu.ketsueki 2021-10-25 22:31:08 UTC
SUMMARY
I marked it as wishlist because the new Overview coming with Plasma 5.24 could use Latte Dock's dock appearing. The idea would be to launch applications pinned on the dock much like the dash on Gnome or the dock from Mac OS.

Previously, it was possible to do this with Parachute as long as the dock is marked to display on top of Fullscreen Windows. Would there be a way to do the same with the new Overview and if so, where this would need to implemented, if in the effect or the dock itself? Or both, possibly

This is a plasma/kwin request. If plasma kwin stack supports it the Latte will follow afterwards.

Is it possible to trigger an overview with a command or something? 

Maybe just make a .desktop file for this feature?

This is out of scope. 

We are working towards making this side of the kwin effect structure easily extendable by 3rd parties
