I just visited it again, ugh...

they revamped the UI, removed features in the process and worsen the performance? Classic Google.

"make capslock an additional Ctrl" option was removed in the latest update

Running Endeavour OS Linux and just updated to plasma 6.0.5, framework 6.3.0, Qt version 6.7.1 on Wayland. I use capslock strictly as my brain refuses to learn using shift (I do touch type no problem), but as well know the capslock is very slow on Linux which always results in text like THis. So, I've found a fix for it online...

try changing your ~/.config/kxkbrc:

[Layout]
# ... 
Options=caps:ctrl_modifier
# ...

that's the file KDE's keyboard settings change.

Also:

  • caps:ctrl_modifier means "Make Caps Lock act as an additional Ctrl modifier, but keep identifying as Caps Lock"
  • ctrl:nocaps means Ctrl position -> "Caps Lock as Ctrl"
  • ctrl:swapcaps means Ctrl position -> "Swap Ctrl and Caps Lock"

But that does make caps work as ctrl. What's the behavior you want?

iirc one program (a game, I think) didn't work properly when I had nocaps: the keyboard settings would allow the keybind, but it didn't work in-game

omg KDE @kde if it ain't broken, fix it until it is?

eager_eagle ,
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

I can confirm this breaks on v24.05.0

probably a bug

I'm a bit surprised something like this wasn't caught by tests

fwiw here's the en_SE locale source I use

http://www.stacken.kth.se/~auno/en_SE

as /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_SE

so yes, you can add them

eager_eagle ,
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

I don't know what you mean by that. It's a locale, it has nothing to do with KDE or Plasma. It doesn't even need a desktop environment. Plasma Settings will just pick up the ones you have installed.

I can see both en_DK and en_SE

did you run locale-gen after adding it?

eager_eagle ,
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

it seems like a general preference to system settings, even after ranking applications higher

Similar experience here, far from a smooth transition I was hoping for after seeing all those bugs being squashed before the release.

Are you starting fresh or reusing plasma dotfiles / configs from 5?

eager_eagle ,
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

I suspect a great part of the issues are due to reuse of some dotfiles… right now I’m trying to pin down exactly what borks my wayland login, since it works for a newly created user and I don’t want to reconfigure all of plasma again. I wish we had at least all config files in one place. The status quo is maddening.

Is there a way to revert back to Plasma 5.27?

I don't think is ready for prime time. When I open apps, the title bar goes above the screen space and I can't move or close the app or use the menus.

@kde

eager_eagle ,

As a workaround, in plasma you can move a window by grabbing anywhere with the mouse if you just hold super or alt first - depending on how you have it configured. Same for resizing using the right mouse button. I never rely on borders or title bars for these things.

eager_eagle ,
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

you need to drag it with the other mouse button to resize it - not working?

eager_eagle ,
@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

just drag it closer to a corner to resize diagonally and closer to the top/bottom to resize it vertically

    Those triangles look great and are memorable, even at lower resolutions. I’ll even get some swag if that becomes the Plasma brand.

    eager_eagle ,
    @eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

    I liked the triangle’s presentation better, but to me it’s a toss-up between squares and triangles tbh.

    I think committing to the gear because it’s more recognizable today is a mistake though, as in a year after it becomes official, this won’t matter at all.

    cool, I just donated 30 EUR

    To whomever made Dolphin's "Extract here, autodetect subfolder" feature - I love you ( outpost.zeuslink.net )

    I hope this doesn’t violate the low-quality rule. For those who don’t know, when you right click an archive in Dolphin, the extract menu has a “Extract archive here, autodetect subfolder” option and its absolutely brilliant! If you’ve ever extracted a zip, tar, etc and ended up with files splattered everywhere this...

    eager_eagle ,
    @eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

    no, no - the opposite is the actual problem: you extract in a non-empty folder and there’s no top directory in the archive. Now you have a bunch of files mixed up: the extracted ones and the ones that were there before you did it.
