## Installing

> [!IMPORTANT]

> Development has switched to Plasma 6, PRs to backport changes to Plasma 5 version are welcomed

### Arch Linux

[aur/plasma6-applets-panel-spacer-extended](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plasma6-applets-panel-spacer-extended) use your preferred AUR helper (e.g `yay -S plasma6-applets-panel-spacer-extended`)

### KDE Store

* [Plasma 5](https://store.kde.org/p/2064339) version v1.4.0

* [Plasma 6](https://store.kde.org/p/2128047)

1. **Right click on the Panel** > **Add Widgets** > **Get New Widgets** > **Download New Plasma Widgets**

2. **Search** for "**Panel Spacer Extended**", install and add to your panel(s).

3. Click on **Add new videos** pick your video(s) and apply.

### Manual install

* Install dependencies (please let me know if I missed something)

  ```txt

    cmake extra-cmake-modules plasma-framework kdeplasma-addons

  ```

* Install the plasmoid

  ```sh

  ./install.sh

  ```

## How does it work?

1. Runs `calls dbus method org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/$COMPONENT org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.invokeShortcut "ACTION NAME"` for shortcuts

2. App/URL/File actions depend on `kdeplasma-addons`
