Is there a way to change how the Application Launcher selects a category? (lemmy.ca)

Hello! I'm new to Linux, and using Plasma 6.2, and I'm finding the Application Launcher incredibly finicky to work with. The primary issue is that the category changes on cursor pass-over, and so ends up requiring some surprisingly precise mouse or touch-pad movements to avoid changing the selected category.

Is there a way to change this behaviour? Digging through various settings panels hasn't unearthed an obvious toggle or set of options, and Google hasn't unearthed the secret either. I'm starting to lose hope on this front.

Am I missing something obvious? Is there a way to make it so the category only changes after a hover of some appreciable amount of time? Or even a click?

Maybe I'm missing it, but I'm not seeing anything in these documents explaining how to change how the menu reacts to the mouse cursor?

Oh, you were asking how to change its user interaction. Well I don't have any answer to that, maybe a different application launcher is more suited to your scenario?
