Overall I find Plasma 6 a big leap in quality but there are some things that bother me, it could be my ineptitude to find the solution, bugs, definite changes or because of using wayland, so I’d appreciate any clue:

  1. I don’t find the way to set autologin in system settings
  2. I don’t know how to put Kate as a system tray icon, it’s not on the list of entries
  3. If Kate or Okular are already open and I right click a document from Dolphin to open it, they do so but they stay in the background if they were there. The same happens if I open the file from the comand line, like kate doc.txt
  4. meta+arrow_key tile the window according to the arrow key used. Doing the same again return the window back to the original position in Plasma 5 (or X11). Very handy. Doesn’t happen anymore.

Probably I’m forgetting something else but solving those would be great.

    I always let the experts talk first but since no one has responded yet

    1. Go to the “Application Menu” and type “Login Screen (SDDM)”. There, click on "Behavior…) is in the top center. You can pick even if Wayland or X11.

    2. Find Kate in the “Application Menu”, right-click on it and select "Pin to task manager¨. You can easily drag it from there to the System tray.

    3. It is funny, right-click and Open with Kate does not bring it to the front, but double clicking it does fine… Never noticed that glitch.

      Is it a glitch or is it part of the focus-stealing setting (forgot the correct term)?
