Hi everyone !

I'm clearly not complaining, as I think the decisions made by the community in the past few years were brilliant. But just wondering :

Were the following features completely dropped in Plasma 5 ?

- Global menu support (there was a blog post in 2016 about its reintroduction. I see no sign of it as of today in KDE Neon
- Possibility to hide the fullscreen windows decorations (especially useful along with the global menu)
- Windows tabbing (remember ? It was possible to tab several windows using the middle mouse button on the window bar.. It was also possible to add rules to automatically tab several windows)
- Automatic windows tiling (I'm pretty sure this one was dropped in KDE 4.x)

All those made me quite enthusiastic back then... Even if I now really think I really prefer the current situation where Baloo, activities and the deskop icons work wonderfully even if there are fewer eccentric features

But at least, the global menu would make sense, I guess...

Oops, I actually found back the global menu. Really sorry, I wish I could delete my thread. But still, there's one remaining question :

it used to be possible to hide the title bar / window decoration of maximized windows and have windows controls in the taskbar as a plasmoid. Is it still possible ? It especially made sense to add a top bar with the global menu & fullscreen windows controls to save vertical space...

I'm re-replying to myself

So there's this "Active Window Control" plasmoid that is still under development and apparently moved back to the KDE umbrella. Using it under Arch (Manjaro). That's brillant.. You can have a SINGLE taskbar with windows controls, auto hiding global menu, icons applications switcher etc. AND it can automatically remove the window decoration of maximized windows.
Super clean & efficient and space saving.

It would have made it so easy for Canonical to transition from Unity without losing tons of features... Well..
