No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.
Hmm, maybe when I tested the programs I ran were not native Wayland, or I’m missing something.
Sorry.
I found one that works when I needed it, IIRC it’s called screenkey, it works on Wayland but I think it needs to run as root for this to work.
I don’t know where to get it but it was in AUR if you use Arch.
Well, maybe there’s a way to make dolphin or other apps have transparency or blur, I’ll be honest and say that I don’t know.
But looking at the screenshot you posted, it’s exactly the same thing I have. On the right it’s Konsole and you can enable transparency and blur in Konsole settings without installing any additional software.
On the left you see Dolphin and it’s not transparent or blurred. However, the menus of Dolphin are transparent and blurred. This is because in Plasma you have a desktop effect that makes all menus transparent and/or blurred, it’s a global effect and applies to all menus.
I can’t remember where it is exactly but you don’t need to install any additional software, it’s all built into Plasma.
At least, I have it in KDE + Arch, maybe other distros have slightly different versions of Plasma.
If this is indeed what you want, blurred menus, I can look up where it is enabled once I get to my laptop.
Can you please upload a screenshot of what you’re trying to achieve?
Konsole has background blur by default and I use that.
I may also want to type out someone’s email NOT in an email client, while in terminal, for example in bash shell or in vim.
Is there Google and/or Outlook integration into a terminal (Konsole) I’m not aware of?
Because email clients are not the only place where I enter emails. And not every program supports address book integration.
I might be filling out online forms and enter someone’s email or phone number or any other long string such as full name I can’t remember how to properly spell.
Well you can have 1 letter sequences which is almost what you want. For example have a sequence that consists of single “u” key that composes into “ü” or something similar.
I don’t know if it’s the same in every DE/Distro, but in KDE I’m pretty sure I can both hold the Compose key and type sequences, or press Compose key once and then type a sequence.
But can’t check right now.
Could you please ELI5 what are spill ranges?
Tbh I don’t have an answer and this isn’t what you’re looking for, but have you heard of Compose key? I don’t know what is kmomad, but I’m pretty happy with my custom compose sequences.
For some reason benchmarks won’t load on my device.
Could anyone please upload the images somewhere else?
Could you please explain how is ricing racist?
I’m trying to tinker with my system and replace a perfectly good and well optimized default kernel for some kernel made for specific niche use cases and I don’t see any performance increase. Why would it be?
Yes, surprisingly the default kernel is optimized well rather than just being a badly written placeholder that users should manually replace for their system to become usable.
It’s 2025 and stuff is designed to just work out of the box.
But it’s used in PES (Passenger Entertainment Systems) at least.
This sounds new to me and I’m curious, how does this menu fit in a small window if it has many options? Is it horizontally scrollable somehow? Does it block the user from making a window smaller than the width of all menu options?
Just for anyone who might be interested, to have normal menubar in LibreOffice one needs to search for background services in kickoff (or any alternative) and turn off Application menus daemon.
I was going crazy without the menubar. I wish there was an easy way to choose how menubars are displayed in KDE Settings: turned off completely, classic (below titilebar of each window), global (available via global app menu widget or plasmoid), or in a titlebar button that looks like a hamburger button. Also an option to invoke / show the menu via a hotkey (like Alt, I think Firefox does this).
Even better, have this per application or per window using window rules.
Currently app menus are a mess, unfortunately.
I might be wrong here, but looks like KDE devs think of app menus as something unused and outdated, something takes up screen space, and tries to find a workaround to save that space (global menus, titlebar app menu bar etc) but for some software (like LibreOffice) I think menubars are essential, and still want to have them permanently.
Sorry I’m not a dev and can’t answer your questions, just got curious: you’re asking how things like autocompletion would work with Raylib. What’s Raylib, and why would it need something special and not work the same way everything else works?
I don’t do development but I still like coding in Python and like to know about development.
