Welcome to week 68 in KDE’s Usability & Productivity initiative! Like many others, this one is full of nice little quality-of-life fixes that should make your experience of using KDE software nicer. Have a look-see:
New Features
- The Task Manager can now be configured to move a window on a different virtual desktop to the current one when middle-clicked (Thomas, Surrel, KDE Plasma 5.16.0)
- Okular nowhas a feature to select all text on the current page (Shubham, KDE Applications 19.08.0)
Bugfixes & Performance Improvements
- Scrollviews in apps using the Kirigami toolkit (such as System Settings and Discover) now have correct scroll behavior regardless of whether you’re using a mouse wheel, touchpad, or touchscreen (Marco Martin, KDE Frameworks 5.58)
- Text Fields in QML-based apps now display the correct I-beam cursor when hovered over (David Edmundson, KDE Frameworks 5.58)
- Fixed a common crash with the KGlobalAccel framework (Fabian Vogt, KDE Frameworks 5.58)
- When using a high DPI scale factor and multiple displays, the scaling no longer gets reset to 1x when a screen is disconnected (David Edmundson, KDE Plasma 5.16.0)
- The Task Manager no longer eventually eats up all available file descriptors when running on X11, windows get grouped, and thumbnails are displayed (Kai Uwe Broulik, KDE Plasma 5.16.0)
- It’s now possible to use a login screen background image with non-ASCII characters in the filename or full file path (David Edmundson, KDE Frameworks 5.58)
User Interface Improvements
- A prettier icon is now used for the default user avatar (Björn Feber, KDE Plasma 5.16.0):
- When Konsole is used to save terminal output to a file, the save dialog now remembers and recalls the last-used save location (Tao Guo and Kurt Hindenburg, KDE Applications 19.08.0)
- Dolphin’s Information Panel is now configured inline, without a separate dialog window (Stefan Brüns, KDE Applications 19.08.0):
- Screenshots in the “Get new [thing]” dialogs no longer have an ugly pixellated shadow (Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen, KDE Frameworks 5.58)
- The “Show Desktop” widget is now present in the panel by default for new installations (Björn Feber, KDE Plasma 5.16.0):
Next week, your name could be in this list! Not sure how? Just ask! I’ve helped mentor a number of new contributors recently and I’d love to help you, too! You can also check out https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved , and find out how you can help be a part of something that really matters. You don’t have to already be a programmer. I wasn’t when I got started. Try it, you’ll like it! We don’t bite!
If you find KDE software useful, consider making a donation to the KDE e.V. foundation .
