I want to copy an icon that is on my panel on my left screen to the panel on the right screen (I have dual monitors).

I went to panel settings and tried to drag it over to the other panel. That didn't work regardless of which panel I was in.

I tried going to the K menu and right clicking on the related program and picked add to panel. However that would only put it on the panel that the menu was on. I would have just added another menu to the other panel, but of course having two menus locks up KDE.

After quite a bit of searching, I found where the .desktop file (first had to figure out that it was a .desktop file I was looking for) was for the icon (in /usr/share/applications), opened the directory up in dolphin and then dragged it over to the panel I wanted.

While this worked, I'm thinking there has to be an easier way. Is there?

Thanks in advance.

use Krunner, type in the app and drag the result to the panel

not sure if any special plugins are needed to be enabled but possibly:
- plasma desktop shell
- applications
