When editing a panel in testing Neon qt 6.7, frameworks 6.2 The delete panel button is in a very easy to accidentally hit spot. There is an undo option that pops up, but I think a popup confirming it makes more sense if it cannot be moved... and it makes sense to ask, are you sure even if it was a better spot. Perhaps it would be better to have a panel management button instead of delete panel, and then have a list of panels, and be able to activate or deactivate them from that list, or clone them, or import and export them, and clone them, and also delete from that other menu. This way a person can turn off a panel and bring it back without relying on an undo mechanism.
Yes, this is awkward. It'll be fixed by https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/2021

Git commit 52d352fb32abd876fdfd51fd5c9ed28ce73b0442 by Nate Graham. Committed on 10/05/2024 at 00:42. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. PanelConfiguration: make it more obvious how you close it Right now, there's no clear way to close the panel configuration dialog. It lacks both an OK or Done button like you'd see in a dialog, and also a close button in the fake titlebar like you'd see in a real window. The dialog also doesn't disappear on focus loss like the old UI did. This isn't ideal. Let's address it by adding a "Done" button to the bottom-trailing position, where people generally expect to see buttons to close dialogs. I chose this over a close button in the fake titlebar because a close button (especially a red one, as the Breeze icon is) might be seen more negatively, i.e. "throw away settings". Whereas a "Done" button with a checkmark is clearly an affirmative action that will accept and save any changed settings. To make room, the Delete Panel button is moved to the other side of the footer, and the shortcut UI is added into the body of the dialog, where the thickness control lives. --- Thanks to @eatsu for starting this off in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/2021. This is an intentionally minimal change to fix a targeted UX issue; let's try to avoid redesigning the entire dialog or else we'll go in circles like we did there.
