appmenu

Linux Desktop 환경에서의 Application Menu(혹은 Global Menu) 리서치

first class support environment

• KDE Plasma

• QTile 아닐거 같음

• X11 or Xwayland

기억상 KDE 말곤 없음

third-party supported

• GNOME: Fildem https://github.com/Sominemo/Fildem-Gnome-45
  • canonical registrar implementation: https://github.com/Sominemo/Fildem-Gnome-45/blob/master/fildem/utils/service.py
  • no kde appmenu implemented
• Firefox: supports kde plasma
  • I think it matches 1:1 on xdg-dbus-annotation proposal? https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D243251
• Chromium:
  • TODO: check whether to show appmenu or not?

kde-appmenu vs xdg-dbus-annotation

- kde-appmenu_manager
    - create(id: kwin_appmenu_new_id, surface: wl_surface)
    - release()
- kde-appmenu
    - set_address(service_name: string, object_path: string)
    - release()
- xdg-dbus-annotation_manager
    - destroy() <- matches release()
    - annonate_client(interface: string, id: annotation_new_id) <- appmenu_manager#create with extra interface name?
    - annonate_surface <- same as above but given wl_surface
    - error
- xdg-dbus-annotation
    - destroy() <- matches release()
    - set_address(bus_name: string, object_path: string) <- appmenu#set_address but bus_name instead of service_name?
    - commit() <- atomically update
