Adding Custom Context Menus

[CaffeinatedDragonWare]

Awesome project! I am coming from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/17j08xh/can_i_add_more_options_to_the_taskbarpanels/

I was able to add to achieve what the OP asked for. Once I finish with the code, is ok if I send you my changes for review?

How did you do it?

The implementation I had in mind was to allow the user to add custom entries there, similar to the actions tab but with a list where the users themselves can add as many actions as they want, be it custom commands, applications (system monitor is a good example) or shortcuts.

Its crude at the moment but I edited the context item that was probably left over from the original space widget "Flexible size" I think it was. I renamed it and borrowed the code from the single click action just as a test in the main.qml file.

Plasmoid.contextualActions: [
PlasmaCore.Action {
text: i18n("Show System Monitor")
onTriggered: {
runAction(singleClickAction, singleClickCommand, singleClickAppUrl);
}
}
]

I had the same idea as you for the final version though. I plan to look at the timer widget's code since it has a dynamic context menu and add that functionality.

Great!

context item that was probably left over from the original space widget "Flexible size" I think it was.

That controls whether or not the spacer expands to fill the panel, but yes you can extend that menu by pushing more options to the Plasmoid.contextualActions array.

Lastly I think it makes more sense to move the discussion to an issue for visibility now that is something we agreed on, so I opened #72

Let me know if you have questions, there is also a matrix room if you want faster feedback https://matrix.to/#/#kde-plasma-panel-spacer-extended:matrix.org
