Love Willow! RE: Start Menu #8

To me, the best thing about Win 11 is the Start Menu, once you get acquainted with its utility. (Close second would be the... desktop window grid thing). You've done a fantastic job recreating it!

@doncsugar Cheers! "Pin to Start" is what I was looking for.

Realizing "Move to Front" likely not as easy to do, but I just thought of that as well. (Haven't tried making folders). I just happened to have this (found as I was looking for a screenshot, but this will do... maybe better) http://whatsonyourbrain.com/adb/startALLbaCK.webp

Please disregard the first half. I just wanted to show you how I like to configure the Start Menu, with the sub-folders, etc.

I would hope not to take credit for someone else's work. Here is the current repository of the menu Willow Desktop uses: https://github.com/adhec/OnzeMenuKDE.

I believe the issue with folders is that few developers have ever tried to pull it off since it can be tedious to implement. Edit applications... technically offers such functionality with the default Plasma menu, though in the default setup the folders are presented as logical groups (e.g. Development, Games, Settings).
