Is it possible to make a global shortcut to bring the panel/dash into focus, but nothing else? - eviltoast

To show the panel above a game window, without Firefox, Dolphin windows, the start menu etc popping up alongside it?

I’m using the ‘Move keyboard focus between panels’ keybind as a non-reliable workaround right now.

    For example, if I use only the super key to open the menu, then Firefox windows often pop up still, it’s just weird. (also I’m using the standard plasma panel, I don’t like Latte Dock)

    I want to do the same thing, or similar. For my htpc I have a mini keyboard and want to use the super key to switch windows and the “menu” button to open home.

    To me it seems like the problem is that the panel has the ‘plasmashell’ window type. If it had its own type this wouldn’t be a problem. 😿
