Plasma 5 Applets menu plasma qml shelf
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://github.com/thevladsoft/appsbycategory
This is a fork of Tiled Menu (https://store.kde.org/p/1160672/) with the intention of imitating the functions of the old shelf plasmoid (https://www.maketecheasier.com/easy-organization-with-kde-plasma-shelf-widget/). It shows one, and only one, category of apps, plus the option of showing pinned favorites.
Possible use cases (see videos):
- Use it in a lateral panel, changing the icon for the icon of the category.
- If you use activities, put it on the desktop. For example, in the work activity you can put the category office.
- Using the grouping plasmoid, you can imitate the layout of kde 4 notebook desktop. The plasmoid name changes dynamically, and the titles in the container
- And what ever you want...
However, this plasmoid doesn't wants to be a complete substitute of the original one, so the lateral bar and search bar are removed (you cant use it to exit session, for example). It works best in combination with any of the menus included with plasma, including the original Tile Menu.
Included versions for plasma 5.8 and 5.9+

Added capacity to pin/unpin items with the mouse middle button.

Deactivated pressing a key to open search, as there is no search anyway.
why there is no shut down or reboot buttons?
Very useful. Well done.+

As this will only show one category, I still don't think it should be considered as an alternative of a full fledged launcher, as I stated in the description.

See that there is a version for plasma 5.8 (with 5.8 in the name), and another for plasma 5.9 and beyond (again see the name).
