In that section, if you click the button to configure the Mouse Mark effect, you can see the shortcuts for clearing Mouse Mark:

• Clear last mouse mark: Super + Shift + F12
• Clear all mouse marks: Super + Shift + F11

A small correction:

For example, there are Kirigami bindings for Python you can use to do a desktop/mobile app.

Kirigami is QML all the way, it doesn’t need bindings since you’d be writing in QML either way. The Python part is about the actual business logic. :)

I’d be curious to see a blog post in the future mentioning the challenges you might have faced making the dock work on Wayland, and what was needed for that.

When you search using the Starred filter, usually you get the main project at the top since that’s the one with the most stars.

I added a KRunner web shortcut for this that automatically searches using that filter: https://rabbitictranslator.com/kfluff-web-shortcuts/

Looks like an old bug with kscreen that could cause two screens to merge together and would be worked around exactly the same way you did. I used to have that whenever a blackout happened, but only with Plasma 5, and often on X11.

What’s used under the hood for this is udisks, the same thing used by other file managers to achieve mounting capabilities. It allows you to mount devices without needing to mess with something cryptic and archaic like fstab and doesn’t require root.

You can always keep using fstab of course since it works, but in that case you probably also want to use fstab systemd integration.

The KDE auto mount never worked on plasma 6

Please report your issues on https://bugs.kde.org so they can actually get fixed!

Everything. It doesn’t accurately describe the issue (animation stutter when using an HDD or during heavy I/O) and it doesn’t mention the solution (put the cache folder in tmpfs), plus it obviously follows the traditional sensationalist tone used in clickbait.

The point is to be deliberately vague to bait people into watching it.

It’s small enough that we actually don’t get many things to moderate either. I don’t think I’ve even done any mod action so far. :D

We’re always open to doc contributions. Interested in any particular areas? 🐰

What’s the best or recommended way to test out Plasma 6 RC2?

I got a bit of a mind freeze reading that sentence since my first thought was “why would someone deliberately give up on Qt’s reflection system” but only then realized they’re still using QMetaObject (the thing that actually enables reflection and signals and slots), just building it with something else.

Afaik the reason why they’re not using GitLab issues it’s missing some features they need, which Bugzilla has.

Yeah.

I was thinking, with the recent news of a contributor to GitLab adding support for forge federation, some time we could see that being enabled in the KDE instance as well, I hope.

It would be cool indeed. It would mean that people on KDE Invent could make issues and MRs directly to the Freedesktop Gitlab, for example, if both were federated.

If, instead, you won’t do it and prefer to keep Bugzilla as the main issue tracking platform, could you tell us why?

Here are the reasons why: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting/Why_not_GitLab_Issues

The tldr is that Gitlab Issues is limited for users, developers and triagers compared to current Bugzilla, given the current KDE infrastructure. These are just technical issues. The moment Gitlab solves those limitations, KDE would gladly use it.

[…] since they’re right there by the code base.

Note the section “Bugs need to be filed against individual repos”. At it stands right now, if a non-technical user finds a plasmashell bug, they can just go to “File a bug”:

and they’re greeted with this:

And then they can choose Plasma and then plasmashell, both with very descriptive text mentioning what should be reported there. It’s not too bad to find the right place to report things, to be honest. And there’s an “I don’t know” field, which is great. :)

Finding issues can be a bit finnicky, yeah. But you can click on the search field in the first page, type what you want to find, click on Quick Search and you get a list of results based on your keywords, and you can also click on the Search button and then click on Simple Search to look for some keyword in a specific product. Once you know it’s pretty simple.

Maybe keep the Overview text and icon color as white for better contrast. The blue background color already conveys selection I think.

Oh, my instance does not show this post like this at all. I wonder if it’s some difference in Lemmy versions too.
