            Bug ID: 441773
           Summary: Application launcher replacement does not allow
                    reverting
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: david.cortes.rivera at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

After updating to KDE plasma 5.21, the applications launcher (similar to the
"windows" key on MS windows) got changed to a different layout without asking
and without giving the option to revert to the old one in the "Switch
alternatives" menu.

Previously, one could find a layout of one's liking through the alternatives,
but now it is not possible to have something resembling the old menu that had
been used up to plasma 5.21.

The new menu is much less ergonomic, as most of the times one wants to click
the launcher icon, move the mouse to some app in the "Favorites" list and click
it; which this new layout makes more difficult as moving the mouse upwards is
likely to end up changing the list of shown apps to some application category.

Please add the old menu as an alternative launcher (the one which would show
the favorites in a vertical list when clicked, and have the categories as tabs
at the bottom) and do not push this type of forced replacements on users.
