I have a top panel set up with a tray aside from my application launcher to separate it from my task manager that dodges maximized windows, however, whenever I try to interact with the top edge of any application, this panel shows up, which is an inconvenience at the time of doing certain actions, like switching tabs in firefox, searching for stuff in vscode, etc.
I do know that there is an option to set a shortcut to focus a panel whenever the keys are pressed, however, as it requires two keys to be pressed, it defeats the main purpose of pressing the “Windows” key to show up this panel via the application launcher. Is there any way to disable this behavior to only show up the panel when opening the application launcher?
Actually the Flag key aka Windows key default behavior is to open your applications menu not the panel it’s on. The panel it’s on only pops up cause the application menu is still an app so the panel now has focus.
Sorry - I may have phrased that wrong. I will edit the question later.
Yes my purpose is to open the application launcher in the panel to show the panel in question instead of hovering over the edge of the screen to then interact with it. I’m just simply asking for a way to disable this function.
I ended up fixing this issue by going to Screen Edges then changing the “Switch desktop on edge” to Always Enabled, this disables the centralized screen edge functionality, resolving my main issue.
