# Shift
A fork of KDE Plasma Mobile that adds a desktop-class convergence mode.
Plasma Mobile is a phone shell. It doesn't try to be anything else.
Shift picks up where it leaves off: when you connect a monitor, keyboard,
or mouse, the same device should feel like a desktop. No second OS, no
separate session — one shell that adapts.
## What's different from upstream
The upstream `plasma-mobile` repo provides the phone experience: homescreens,
a swipe-based navigation panel, an action drawer, and a status bar. All of
that still works. Shift adds a **convergence mode** layer on top — toggled
via `plasmamobilerc` — that swaps in desktop-oriented behaviour without
replacing the phone UI underneath.
Key changes so far:
- **Unified dock** replacing the navigation panel in convergence mode,
with running-app indicators, favourites, context menus, and hover
tooltips.
- **App drawer** opening as a centered popup instead of a full-screen
swipe.
- **Window management** — edge tiling, screen-edge maximize, close
buttons, task context menus, Overview integration.
- **Status bar** gains a system tray, date display, and hover highlights.
- **Screen space reservation** for the dock via a layer-shell exclusive
zone, so maximized windows don't overlap it.
- **Desktop niceties** — right-click wallpaper settings, minimize-all on
home press, clickable page indicators, action drawer toggle on click.
## Upstream base
Forked from `plasma-mobile` at KDE's Plasma 6 branch. Upstream commits
(translations, silent fixes) are preserved in the early history.
