Bug ID: 446654
Summary: Feature Request: mirror / duplicate panel on all
monitors
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.3
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: georgetrou...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When using two (or more) monitors, it is convenient to have a panel on each
monitor such that all panels are completely identical. Currently, it seems that
the only way to accomplish this is to manually create each panel, and customize
each one in the exact same way. This is a tedious process for users that enjoy
heavily-customized panels.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Kernel: 5.15.2-2-MANJARO (64-bit)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This feature has been previously requested for KDE Plasma 4, closed due to
obsolescence of Plasma 4, and never re-opened on Plasma 5:

This exact feature has been indirectly requested on a few forums, none of which
have received adequate responses:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/iuq4ld/duplicate_panel_on_all_screens/
-

CURRENT SOLUTION
1) Create a panel on one monitor, and customize manually with widgets/menus
until desired
2) Repeat #1 for second monitor, ensuring new panel is identical to that on
monitor #1
3) Repeat #1 for third monitor, ensuring new panel is identical to that on
monitor #1
4) and so on ...
IDEAL SOLUTION
1) Create a single panel on one monitor, and customize manually with
widgets/menus until desired
2) Create a new blank panel on second monitor. Right click on it, and select
"Mirror Panel." Some selection menu would let the user choose which panel they
would like this current panel to mirror. All customizations of the first panel
would immediately transfer to the new panel, and changes to one panel will
automatically be reflected in the other mirrored panel.
3) Repeat #2 for each monitor
