I would like to have a way of switching the audio output device (internal speakers/headphones to bluetooth speakers etc) by keyboard actions (which I usually can do without searching, finding and putting my glasses on my nose). Plasma tray elements can be activated with shortcuts, and thus I can connect, disconnect, switch between bluetooth devices by keyboard, because when the drop-down menu is visible, selection with arrow-keys and Enter to activate does the trick. But that doesn't work when trying to switch between audio devices themselves. I can bring forth the audio volume tray element with a shortcut: but further interaction by keyboard is limited to volume level. There is a widget called [audio device switcher](https://store.kde.org/p/1195707/) which brings the options more to the front, but its shortcut does nothing. Overall, it lacks keyboard interaction. The closest thing to what I want is to simply disable bluetooth by the first method *IF* that device is the one that is currently playing...

I recently bought a new laptop (ASUS ROG Strix SCAR ). It has a 2560x1440 pixel screen, which is great for my imaging work, but makes text hard for me to read. So, I set up three activities, one with 2560x1440, one 1689x1050, and one 1280x720. I use the higher resolution for my imaging and graphics, and then the lower resolution ones for reading blogs, emails, and writing documents. I change resolutions on entering the activity by means of an xrandr script that runs on activation, e.g. xrandr --output eDP --mode 1680x1050 The problem I have is that I have different widgets in each activity. Fig 1 is a screenshot of my high resolution screen (which I call "4k"). Fig 2 is a screenshot of my lower resolution screen (which I call "2K"). When I switch from the 2K screen back to the 4K screen, the widgets rearrange as shown in Fig 3. Fig1: Fig2: Fig3 (upon return): My workaround is to create a second 4K activity that has *no* widgets (which I call activity "4K play"). When I want to switch back from 2K to 4K, if I quickly go 2K -> 4K play -> 4K. Then widget positions are preserved. What I believe is happening is that when I go directly from 2K to 4K, the widgets are rearranged as if it were a 2K screen *before* the xrandr script is run changing it to 4K. But I don't know. Is there a better way to preserve widget positions when changing screen resolution between activities?

Widgets are an essential part of Plasma/KDE, and I have always found rather odd and cumbersome the way of accessing the interface to install them, by - right-clicking the panel or the desktop, - selecting "Add widgets", *then*: - "Get new widgets", *then*: - "Download new... ... Can we get a command (and a launcher for that) that would simply open this window?
