Plasma/Tasques

El Gestor de processos de Plasma

L'estri Gestor de tasques mostra tres aplicacions en el plafó.

El Gestor de tasques proporciona fàcil accés a les aplicacions en execució. Es troba al mig del plafó. Si la finestra d'una aplicació s'ha posat darrere d'altres finestres o si s'ha minimitzat la podeu portar al davant fent clic a la seva pestanya en el Gestor de tasques.

The Task Manager widget

The Task Manager is actually a widget, which means that you can place it anywhere. For example, you could add a new panel to (say) the top of the screen and place the Task Manager there or you could place it on the desktop if you wish. You can even have several copies of it in various places.

Whenever you start an application you will see a new tab in the Task Manager showing the icon of the application and the title of the window that was opened.

If you click on the tab corresponding to the active window then that window will be minimized. If there are still windows that have not been minimized then the frontmost of them will become active. If you click on the tab of a minimized window it will be displayed in front of all other windows, and it will become active. If you click on the tab of a window which is displayed behind other windows it will be brought in front of all other windows, and it will become active.

You can also right-click a tab to bring up the context menu. This gives you a number of options. For example, you can set which virtual screens the windows are displayed on, and you can close the window.

Task Manager showing many windows including a group of three Dolphin windows.

If you have many windows opened the tabs may be grouped. In that case you will see a number with a small arrow above in the right hand side of the tab. Clicking on such a tab will bring up a list of tabs for individual windows that you can use just like ordinary Task Manager tabs. Right-clicking a group gives you the option to close all windows in that group.

You can also activate windows by holding Alt down while pressing Tab one or more times. This way you browse through all windows whether displayed or minimized.

Note

Some applications do not open a GUI when started. Therefore they will not show up in the Task Manager. Instead they have an icon in the SystemTray.
