Windows can hover is a super awesome panel behavior. I had it in Plasma 4 and 5.
It makes a horizontal panel that shows the names of tasks really useful. So many wide monitors don’t have any extra vertical space. So I put my panels on the left so I don’t have to scroll as much. I make them wide enough to read the title of the window. It is superduper useful and discoverable. I can help my clients find what they are looking for easily.
Now for most of my clients I can’t let the windows cover the panel, but for the ones that don’t have mobility issues and need the extra horizontal space, I can set the panel this way.
Now, when I try a distro or the latest KDE in a virtual machine, I am not able to move my mouse to screen edge. But, I am able to move to where the panel is. Also, I really really need the screen space when I am using a VM because I already only have a 1080p monitor. (My normal minimum is 1920x1200)
It could be called: Panel Pops over.
I do not understand the dodge windows option. Not at all.
This feature is really important to me
