KDE developers remained very busy as they closed out the month of August. In fact, this week saw a 22 year old KDE feature request finally being addressed.
KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual weekly development summary of all the exciting Plasma changes for the week. This week’s highlights include:
– KDE Plasma’s clipboard now lets you mark entries as favorites that will be permanently saved for easy access in the future. THis stems from a 22 year old feature request: back in 2003 it was requested to support persistent/sticky/pinned items for the clipboard.
– KDE Plasma 6.5 will also now allow configuring touch rings on your drawing tablet.
– KRunner and KRunner-powered searches can now use fuzzy matching for applications.
– Discover’s error messages are now more user-friendly and better aligned with the KDE Human Interface Guidelines.
– Various Plasma crash fixes are resolved.
– Plasma 6.5 implemented support for overlay planes on single-output setups to help in reducing GPU and power usage.
