Create launcher in KDE? [Solved]
Create launcher in KDE?
In Xfce I can right-click the desktop and choose Create Launcher (not shortcut, which is different)
KDE Plasma doesn't have this option. Where can I find it?

Do you mean right-click - create new - Link to Application?

Re: Create launcher in KDE?
Open menu, navigate to the application you want to link, right click, select "Add to Desktop" or "Add to Panel (Widget)" or "Pin to Taskbar"
hint: you may want to replace Task Manager with Icons-only Task Manager (right click, "Show alternatives...")

Ah, ok, yes. Thanks. I'm still getting used to the Linux terminology, which apparently changes between desktops, lol. (Xfce's menu says "Create launcher")'
Thanks! And thanks for the tip about Task Manager.markol wrote: Wed May 18, 2022 7:42 am Open menu, navigate to the application you want to link, right click, select "Add to Desktop" or "Add to Panel (Widget)" or "Pin to Taskbar"

Re: Create launcher in KDE?
@Eadwine Rose I opened a new topic which hopefully is clearer about what I need to accomplish. My terminology was wrong, because all I know are Windows terms at this point. Still getting used to the Linux world.Eadwine Rose wrote: Wed May 18, 2022 2:21 am Closed your other topic. Please do not multipost. Thanks.

Yeah, I thought I clicked Edit but when I clicked Submit it was actually another reply. It was also early, pre-coffee, and I panicked. lolEadwine Rose wrote: Wed May 18, 2022 9:59 am You can always edit a post by clicking the pencil icon in the top right.

Pre-coffee happens 
Next time coffee is lacking, just report the one that is wrong with the ! button so we can remove it.
