Dear all, 

Would you want to consider a new option for the settings menu by which the user could choose to not make notifications disappear after X seconds but rather on click on the notification itself?

This would reduce the chance you're actually missing a notification because it disappeared before you have taken notice. 🥳

Thanks for your feedback!

The client decides if a notification is going to be sticky or not, critical ones should not expire, as per the spec:
https://developer.gnome.org/notification-spec/#urgency-levels

Try it: notify-send -u critical foo

You may be interested in the notification panel plugin, it shows all recent notifications.
Comment 2 Simon Steinbeiss editbugs 2019-03-14 00:09:37 CET
As Andre correctly pointed out, the expiration time is partly controlled by the sender.

In addition to the panel plugin there is a notification log in the settings dialog itself, so even if you don't want to use the panel plug-in you can access your recent notifications.

In this sense the report/request is invalid or "won't do"

Thanks guys! 👋🙂

This is much appreciated. 

Now it's on me to find out how I can teach Chrome to always do "-u critical" notifications. 

Regards
