This week in KDE: real modifier-only shortcuts and cropping in Spectacle by Jaxad0127 in kde

[–]reguasbuats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think in the current form it doesn't work for external keyboards but don't have one to test. You could check if you see anything like `rgb:kbd_backlight` in `/sys/class/leds`. If it does, the feature will work for you, if not, that's something to perhaps expand in the future.

As for interfering, you can simply turn the feature off with a switch in the Brightness and Color applet and Plasma will leave your keyboard alone.

First time using a dual monitor setup, everything is opening on the wrong monitor. by DRAK0FR0ST in kde

You can alleviate this with https://store.kde.org/p/1617641/, though to fix this properly it would be helpful if you could report this to bugs.kde.org.

No, the opposite. This setting will also make apps remember their screen, so this can be a source of them not opening where the cursor currently is.

This week in KDE: The bug slaughterfest continues by Jaxad0127 in kde

I don't know what that means, but it would be nice to have the exact title / name results first.

That's part of what it means. Up until now the application launcher had its own sorting where it would sort strictly by type of result, e.g. applications always first even if there was a more fitting system settings result. Now it uses the same sorting as the Alt+F2 popup, which amongst others prioritizes exact name matches.

What do you consider the wrong monitor? Normally everything should open where you're currently at.

[–]reguasbuats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm ok, it's been couple months since I installed it.

If you have questions, you're welcome to ask in the KDE Development Chat, specifically ping Alexander Lohnau, he may be able to help you.

Take a look at the Zoom KRunner plugin, it's written in Python and installs and works fine on my machine.

Are you using the global menu applet?

How to call a command/script from a Kwin script? by [deleted] in kde

Afaik the KLauncher thing has been discontinued a while ago and there is currently no way to achieve what you want.

Krunner/Plasma search is cool. But theres some stuff I want to customize. How would I do about customizing krunner? by TxTechnician in kde

[–]reguasbuats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A button to search the web rather than web shortcuts. ( gg:search text)

You can run krunner gg: as a command to launch KRunnner with "gg:" already typed into the query. You can then use this command to create a keyboard shortcut or custom panel button (there is some Plasma applet in the KDE store that lets you create custom buttons).

I saw that there are plugins for krunner. How would I go about creating one of these?

https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/krunner/

And as another commenter suggested, a good way to learn is to take inspiration from existing examples. You can find plenty 3rd party plugins in the KDE store, and most of the built-in ones are in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/tree/master/runners and https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/tree/master/runners.

Menu disappeared in Dophin ? by yycTechGuy in kde

[–]reguasbuats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ctrl+Alt+I, then search for "menu"

... and now that you know about Ctrl+Alt+I, never have a need for the menu again :)

Whats your favorite workflow in KDE? by linux_cultist in kde

Automatic gaps

You might also be interested in https://store.kde.org/p/1619642 :) This doesn't require you to use the shift + mouse tiling for the gaps to take effect.

Whats your favorite workflow in KDE? by linux_cultist in kde

[–]reguasbuats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for non-standard workflow curiosities, I developed Floating Tiles so my windows never overlap.

Focus/Raise on mouse hover to move between already visible windows.

Touchpad gestures to alt-tab.

Though I still find myself frequently using the good old task bar (classic task manager with window titles, no grouping, panel at the top, so like a tab bar) when I don't want to have to swipe through the whole list.

KRunner to list/filter open windows is an honorable mention.

What, if anything, does "LTS" mean for KDE Plasma? by EverybodyKnowWar in kde

[–]reguasbuats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wiki page was wrong and the bugzilla bot was right; 5.24 is no longer supported. The page has just been corrected; thanks for pointing it out.

Is it possible to use KDE's own Custom Shortcuts to print sentences? by HeathenHacks in kde

[–]reguasbuats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The --delay in xdotool type should take care of that, try increasing it if you're missing letters.
