Show a hidden latte-dock by hovering cursor over it

  • 772

I have recently switched from GNOME to KDE. I had previously used the DashtoDock GNOME extension, and am now using Latte to achieve the same on KDE. As far as I've read, it's the recommended dock to use with Plasma.

One thing I'm hitting a snag with is "showing" a hidden dock. For example when I have behaviour set to auto-hide, I cannot find any way to reveal the dock. For Dodge-Maximised etc the only solution I have found is to set a keyboard shortcut. I can live with that if I have to, but is there no way to make it show when moving the cursor to the edge of the screen?

I am using Kubuntu 20.04 LTS, and have Plasma 5.18.5.

Thanks in advance!

kde kubuntu plasma latte-dock

  1. I had the same problem, and finally found the answer.

    Wrong way : I was adding latte dock as a widget by right clicking on the desktop and clicking on "Add widgets".

    Good way : The proper way to do this is to start latte dock as an application, from the terminal :

    latte-dock

    Then in the system settings, make sure to add latte-dock in the autostart applications.
