KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his weekly recap of notable KDE desktop developments for this first week of April.

Highlights for this week in the KDE world include:

- Plasma 6 porting work continues. Nate calls KDE Plasma 6 on his own machine "it's still rough, but it's usable."

- Links in files open within Kate are now clickable.

- Dolphin is now more informative about what to do instead of running the file browser within sudo.

- Improved scrolling with the Task Manager and Pager widgets.

- Those with a touchscreen can now press-and-hold to open a context menu for system tray icons.

- Fixing a complex multi-monitor bug involving misbehavior with KVM/headless setups.
