I've got a few applications pinned in my Kubuntu installation:

When I open one of them, the pinned icon goes away and is replaced by the running application further right:

This makes it a little tedious when I want to open more instances. Although I can click the mouse wheel on the running instance as a workaround, I'd like something like the old Windows quick launch where the icons remain there and you know exactly where to click to run a given application.

I've seen this answer which seems to address the same problem. However, I don't see any "Add to Panel (Widget)" and I have no idea how to add the mentioned "Quick Launch" Plasma widget. I would appreciate some more detailed guidance on how to get this working. Thanks in advance.

  • Always provide the output of plasmashell --version. The answer may depend on that.

  • Assuming you're on Kubuntu 20.04 (plasmashell 5.18.5), right-click on an empty space on your desktop, click on Add widgets, then in the pop-up that appears, enter "Quick" in the search bar, then drag the Quick launch widget onto your panel.

  • In 20.04, search for quicklaunch, not quick launch.
