Just looking for suggestions.

The LibreOffice Devs seem determinedly uninterested in using tabs to navigate between documents, a la any modern browser, and KDE's task switching can be baroque in its excess. In both Task Manager widgets , the option to not group windows seems absent, so i have click on the Libre Icon and squint, and slide my glasses to my nose as I try to pick between the different miniaturized windows.

Do you guys have any suggestions for an easy tab system for switching between Libre docs? I thought of using XFCE's panel, but that would show up on every desktop and activity. I've tried using the new dock widget (which is really, really cool), but it also groups all open applications.

You could potentially stick with icontasks... So you get a single icon for all your open LibreOffice documents.

However if you hover over the Libreoffice icon, in the panel...
Roll your mouse wheel backwards and forwards...
That will switch between the open LibreOffice documents.

Hey, that's cool! Didn't know I could do that. That might do the trick. Just have to get this into muscle memory.

The option is there:


That's with Plasma 5.7.4.
