KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual weekly recap to summarize all the interesting development activities taking place in the KDE world. Some of this week's highlights include:
- Plasma 6.1 brings the ability for KDE's shortcut choosers to accept lone modifier keys natively for modifier-only shortcut handling. Previously modifier-only shortcut handling had to be done via editing the kwinrc file directly for re-assigning the role of the Meta key, for example.
- Spectacle has restored its crop tool support.
- Discover now allows manually updating Snaps if desired.
- Enhancements to the Elisa music player.
- Various crash fixes for Plasma 6.
- Plasma 6.1 will fix some visual glitches that could happen on Wayland when resizing certain types of windows that open in a maximized state.
- Spectacle can now take screenshots faster when used outside of Plasma and KWin on X11.
- Plasma 6.1's digital clock and calendar widgets are now more robust.
- For keyboards with RGB-backlit keyboards, Plasma can now keep the backlight color in sync with the active accent color.
