As per https://notes.kde.org/public/plasma-5.14-kickoff this is the discussion on how to implement pinning in the task manager / plasma in general. Past discussions and feature requests related include https://phabricator.kde.org/D12462 https://phabricator.kde.org/D12463 Use cases: 1) Application "launchers" for apps you frequently use 2) Always-visible icon (systray replacement?) for things like new e-mails 3) Management of open windows Right now there are two ways: there is an application launcher plasmoid and there is task manager, which is split into the "regular" one with a label and the icons only task manager. The feature set differs a bit, as the latter can also be bound to activities (which are going to be abandoned?) Various requests sparked a discussion, e.g. people wanting the option to not show the text label for some applications to save space whilst still have it always visible. This ticket is to discuss and hopefully decide which part of plasma should implement what use cases, and how (UX) they are presented to the user.
