[Feature request] Overview : More interaction between desktop elements (panels, krunner, workspaces)
Overview (pun)
To make the new overview effect truly a great 1 stop shop for getting things done quickly between tasks, I believe allowing the new krunner functionality to interact with workspaces + panels, and by extension allow users to interact with the panel in overview in general.
Desired actions from overview
- Drag items from krunner to panel
- Drag krunner application items to a workspace to launch on a specific workspace
- Access panel quickly to change systray and appindicators
Use cases:
- User wishes to see panel while full screen.
- A user can access overview and directly adjust systray or appindicator options.
- Specific: A user is playing a full screen game with a controller and the screen sleep keeps going off. Hit overview and click the widget/appindicator for caffeine-ng
- User wishes to pin an application from krunner onto his panel
- A user can hit overview button, type an app name, then drag it to the panel for quick launching
- A user wishes to launch an app on a new workspace
- A user can access overview and search an app, then drag to a new workspace to launch it on that workspace
Note: I know the panel related items may be really difficult technically with kwin's structure just from hearing the parachute dev's comments, but maybe not. Thought I would throw it out there.
