Welcome to a new issue of “This Week in Plasma”! Every week we cover the highlights of what’s happening in the world of KDE Plasma and its associated apps like Discover, System Monitor, and more.
i have to admit i’m finding it quite frustrating how many classic KDE ui things are being sacrificed for homogeneity recently - single click to open, mouse over program menu category to switch, now this
double click by default in particular was abandoning an iconic and way more intuitive way to interact with the desktop to be more like what windows and mac users are used to, which is a shame
edit: jumped the gun here, doesn’t look like it’s the new default. rest of my whining applies tho
I must say, the mouse-over-category thingie was a horrible default that still makes me cringe on my Debian system today, because it forces me to trace a VERY SPECIFIC route with my mouse so I don’t trigger another category, when 99% of the time all I want is to click on one of my favourites.
