[Feature Request]: Add option to display task numbers in the panel

[fpohtmeh]

I have:

• [x] Searched if this feature hasn't been requested yet.
• [x] Verified that I am using the latest version (see Widget settings > About page or top right corner for version 1.1.0 and later), should be the same as https://github.com/luisbocanegra/plasma-panel-colorizer/releases/latest

Install method used:

• [x] Using Plasma's "Add new widget" (KDE Store)
• [ ] AUR
• [ ] Nix package
• [ ] Manually from the latest source code

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to be able to display the task number in the panel. If I use Win+1, Win+2, ..., and Win+9 shortcuts, I know which task will be opened

Describe the solution you'd like There is a utility for Windows OS: https://ramensoftware.com/7-taskbar-numberer

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context I'm not an experienced configurator of KDE, but your widget looks like the closest one to achieving the goal

Hi @fpohtmeh I like the idea but I think this is something more suited to be added as a feature of the built-in Task Manager widget.

It would require a way to detect that the Meta key is pressed without root privileges. I don't know if there is a way to do that from the widget or if is even possible.

The Windows application displays numbers all the time. Thus, modifier detection isn't needed.

This behavior is more convenient, IMO. Users may trigger the shortcut immediately and don't wait for the visual number

Okay, if isn't too complicated to track each task icon I will add it.
