Description

If i add a lot of plugins to a panel the panel does not have room for all the plugins at once. It seems the panel just clips the plugins where there is not room for more.

I would like an option to access the hidden plugins even when there is not enough room. Like an > arrow or something like that to show the rest. Maybe drop down the remaining icons/etc. or drop down a list with names or scroll the whole panel sideways and then also have a < arrow at the other end to scroll the other way. Or maybe have < and > at the same end so the user dont have to move the cursor much.

Something like what the window list plugin is capable off. But i suppose it should be built into the panel rather then being a new plugin because then it will only work if the plugin is added to the panel.

Version: 4.13.5
