Is it possible to make a global shortcut to bring the panel/dash into focus, but nothing else? (beehaw.org)

To show the panel above a game window, without Firefox, Dolphin windows, the start menu etc popping up alongside it?

I'm using the 'Move keyboard focus between panels' keybind as a non-reliable workaround right now.

For example, if I use only the super key to open the menu, then Firefox windows often pop up still, it's just weird. (also I'm using the standard plasma panel, I don't like Latte Dock)

I want to do the same thing, or similar. For my htpc I have a mini keyboard and want to use the super key to switch windows and the "menu" button to open home.

That sounds very doable, assuming I understand what home means.

To me it seems like the problem is that the panel has the 'plasmashell' window type. If it had its own type this wouldn't be a problem. 😿

Just add a shortcut to crash plasma shell, works consistently. /s
