11 ugh
Utterly useless.
Test it:
Hit menu, type 'cus' - this should bring you to hit Enter to launch 'custom shortcuts'.
Whoops - nothing there. How to launch if you have this menu?
66 okay, I would like to give a better grade, but on Q4OS Gemini (Debian 11 based) it doesn't work at all. However, it does what it claimes to do and I cannot complain about it.

On Debian testing works fairly well :)
People can actually use the same DE on multiple distros, you know...
When I tested it, it performed much worse than both KRunner and the built in Kickoff launcher on KDE - couldn't bring up custom shortcuts or a host of other settings - so it should be advertised as 'gnome' or whatever... however it is advertised here for KDE5.
4The text beside every single icon, of the "recommended" menu, is over the icon. The same for the search bar text: is over the lens icon (Kubuntu 20.04.4 LTS)
Also will be great if by clicking in the alphabet in the header in the pinned app menu it shows all alphabets so we can jump directly like in the wind 10 menu.
Hi, i like your addon to kde, it feels a lot better than the windows 11 menu, mainly for the customization you added. I think the only thing I miss from kickoff, and would make this my preferred menu over anything, when you click on all apps, I like the kickoff philosophy of grouping apps by categories, allowing to discover apps functionality for new users, without knowledge of the app name.
10An amazing piece of work! Thank you.
But I would like to make a suggestion:
the "real" Windows 11 menu appears and goes away with a sliding animation. Very much like the current version of the plasma kickoff menu does... https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Kickoff . Perhaps you could look in the code of the kickoff menu for some inspiration.
It is only a suggestion. You did a GREAT JOB!
I love it. I checked every option and configured it to my preferences. Thank you. The user icon, however, is displayed very pixelated when the "Reduce size for user profile icon" option is disabled, as if it was rendered with a very low resolution.
And I second the complaint about the power button option. I believe I understand that you expect the power options screen to appear but some of us have it disabled and prefer inmediate mode.
the only complaint I have is that the power button doesn't give any options. it only shuts down. I can't use it until that is fixed. other than that, I love it!
Better than the option provided by Microsoft! I know it is not included in the original but it will not be useful to have the ability to enable / disable buttons at the bottom? It occurs to me for example to include the option to add widgets. I am going to look in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kicker/contents/ui where the references to the code that allows to view documents and widgets in the launcher in full screen are found and I will try to apply this.
As it is I have to say, the launcher is great.

8 Easy access to favorites, recent files ("recommended") and files search. Fonts and icons too small on my laptop though.

Just to let you know this is deprecated and I have also updated the description regarding a replacement. Thanks for using this.
Excellent - thank you. This is a huge bug in the OpenDesktop/Pling system - it isn't possible to report or have anything cleaned out.

9 Great menu. It'll be good if we can change the rows and columns in the recommendation section.
Also will be great if by clicking in the alphabet in the header in the pinned app menu it shows all alphabets so we can jump directly like in the wind 10 menu.

9 Can you update the release on kde store to have all the last translations available in Menu 11 plasmoid ? Thanks.
It is always the latest, you just have to remove the old one and reinstall it.
Cómo hago para ponerlo en español ? Gracias

It's doesn't work perfectly in KDE Plasma 5.18. The icon and name of the icon allways duplicate

Thanks, I will try to add it in future versions.
