提示
How can I quickly move between activities?
The ZUI method is rather slow, so a better way is to use an Activity Bar. A short how-to here explains exactly what you need to do.
How can I use virtual desktops as activities?
Open , then check the box . Click on and you are done.
Panel
How can I add applets to the panel?
- Method 1: Open the dialog in the Plasma cashew (upper right corner of the screen) then select the widget of your liking and drag it directly (don't double click or use the button) to the panel.
- Method 2: Drag an applet from the desktop to the panel.
- Method 3: Click on the cashew on the panel, and select . Once you have selected the applet, it will be automatically added to the panel.
Can I move the applets on the panel?
To do so, open up the panel controller (by clicking on the cashew or by right clicking on the panel and selecting ) and hover the mouse cursor over the applets. Its shape will turn into four arrows, and you'll be able to rearrange the applets as you wish by holding down the left mouse button to move the icon and clicking with the right mouse button to fix the icon on its place.
How can I change the height and the size of the panel?
Click on the panel cashew (the small icon on the right side of the panel) to open the panel configuration interface. By clicking on , you can position the panel on any of the edges of the screen. Clicking on height and dragging increases or decreases the size of the panel.
The arrows on the sides of the panel define its size: there are two, which define "minimum" and "maximum" sizes. The maximum size is the size at which the panel can expand when items are added, while the minimum size is the minimum size the panel can have. If they are set differently, the panel will readjust its size depending on the contents.
Under there are additional options to align the panel and configure its behavior.
Can I auto-hide the panel?
Open the panel controller, select , then click on the relevant option.
How can I remove a panel?
Click on the panel toolbox, click on , then select . Alternatively you can right click on the panel itself, select and choose .
General Panel Configuration Help
This forum page gives an illustrated guide to configuring the panel.
Multi-screen
I am using two screens, and I used to have kicker over the two displays. Can I do that with Plasma?
No. The reason is that having a panel over two displays adds a great deal of complexity, especially when the two displays have different resolution. As a result of this added complexity, this feature would not be guaranteed to work in all cases, hence it was not implemented.
Can I put the panel on only one screen?
All Plasma panels live in one screen. If you want panels on multiple screens, you can add panels and drag them to your preferred location using the panel controller you get when clicking on the Plasma icon in "Unlocked" mode.
On multi screen setups, the ZUI operates on all screens, the Dashboard just on one. Why is that?
The workflows are different. When zooming out, the user wants to get an overview, therefore activities on all screens are zoomed out. Whereas when using the Dashboard, the user usually wants to access specific functionality and might not want to interrupt his or her workflow on other activities.
Working with Keyboard Shortcuts
Are there any keyboard shortcuts for Plasma?
In addition to the mouse, there are a number of shortcuts available. The various combinations should be pressed in sequence, that is for example Alt + D, + means "press Alt and D, release and press +".
- Lock widgets: Alt-D, L
- Zoom out: Alt-D, -
- Zoom in: Alt-D, +
- Next widget: Alt-D, N
- Previous widget: Alt-D, P
- Add activity: Alt-D, Alt-A
- Next activity: Alt-D, Cursor right
- Previous activity: Alt-D, Cursor left
- Widget settings: Alt-D, S
- Remove widget: Alt-D, R
- Run associated application (if applicable): Alt-D, T
- Add widget: Alt-D, A
To change shortcuts, click on the desktop toolbox and select .
How can I associate a keyboard shortcut with a widget?
Simply select a widget's settings (the wrench icon on the applet handle) and then click on . You will then be able to define a keyboard shortcut for your applet. Notice that unless the widget has defined some use for the keyboard shortcut, the shortcut itself will only give focus to the widget itself.
