Marco Allegretti 220be94b63 Allow dragging running dock tasks to pin them
Running task icons in the convergence dock can now be dragged into the favourites section to pin the app at the drop position.

Add indexed insertion to FavouritesModel so pinning can place the new favourite at a specific slot instead of always appending.

Show a placeholder while dragging and reuse the existing addApplication path for the final pin action.

Shift

SHIFT is an open source shell built on KDE Plasma Mobile, designed to adapt fluidly to your computing needs across devices

App Drawer Dock Pin to Dock Touch Mode

Shift is a fork of plasma-mobile. The upstream phone UI is untouched; convergence adds a layer on top.

What convergence mode changes

  • Navigation panel replaced by a dock with running-app indicators, favourites, context menus, and hover tooltips

  • App drawer opens as a floating popup above the dock

  • Window management: edge tiling, edge maximize, close buttons, task context menus, Overview integration

  • Status bar gains a system tray, date display, and hover highlights

  • Screen space reserved for the dock via layer-shell exclusive zone

  • Desktop niceties: right-click wallpaper settings, minimize-all on home press, clickable page indicators
