@usr_40476:

Please be aware that, the KDE Plasma program starter (Application Launcher) is a dynamic menu – it’s composed from the desktop files of the installed applications.

  • Therefore, all the installed applications which have desktop files included in the package, will appear in the KDE Plasma Application Launcher.

What you can do is –

  • Open the KMenu Editor –
  • In the Settings Menu, choose “Configure KDE Menu Editor” –
  • In “General Options” – Enable “Show hidden entries”.

When you edit any particular entry, you can then enable the “Hidden entry” option.

  • When the last entry in any given Menu category has been hidden then, that Menu category will also disappear …
