KDE devs have been quietly working on Plasma Keyboard, a new on-screen keyboard for desktop and mobile part of the “We Care About Your Input” KDE Goals initiative. Although not ready for texting yet, it has been making progress. Hopefully it'll be in a screen near you soon. Join the effort!

The latest issue of "This week in Plasma" brings the news that now there's a pop-up preview for folders on the desktop that are empty, that the Plasma Virtual Keyboard is coming along nicely, and that screen recordings of specific windows now capture that window's popups too:

@mrgaturus @redstrate @kde@lemmy.kde.social

Right. Maybe submit a bug report?:

https://bugs.kde.org/

It sounds like the kind of issue the folks of the "We care about your Input" goal would want to tackle.

Plasma Mobile News📳!

@NGIZero Core is funding work on the power management stack; the task switcher gets gestures back; the lockscreen and notifications were redesigned; KDE's very own convergent web browser, Angelfish, has been overhauled and now supports gestures; and look forward to improvements to Discover, Clock, Dialer and more.

KDE is part of the #EndOf10 campaign and we are on a mission to convert as many users over to Linux as we can.

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

This is the perfect time to ditch Windows and get the new and shiny Plasma 6.4 for your machine!

Check out the upcoming events where you can get Linux installed on your computer:

Plasma 6.4 is out and it's' more welcoming than ever!

https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.4.0/

Check out the tweaked tiling that lets you have different layouts for every virtual desktop; the overhauled Spectacle that makes capturing your desktop faster; how KRunner now understands color; and in general the literally dozens of other fixes and features that make Plasma friendlier and easier to use.

Trash is still just a folder. The widget just makes it easier to interact with.
