Problem

Hello there, I am QuarkTheoryNuke and I am using Linux for the first time in my life, could you please greet me? Now, I have a need for a feature related to the application menu. I think it would be helpful to have an additional option called "Hide from list" when right clicking on the menu. The hidden applications could then be accessed by a button at the end of the search bar.

Proposal

the application menu. I think it would be helpful to have an additional option called "Hide from list" when right clicking on the menu. The hidden applications could then be accessed by a button at the end of the search bar.

AFAIR AppEditor has this function and what it does is to copy the desktop file you want to hide from /usr/share/applications/ to ~/.local/share/applications/ and then add the line NoDisplay=true. If we mean to implement this maybe we can use the same way.
