@kde Hello, 6.1! 🕺

Find more pieces in the Fediverse and KDE's forum.

Hi,

Most PDF viewer software on M$ Win can scroll sideways with the Shift key pressed. How do you make Okular scroll sideways with the mouse wheel? Most of my work requires reviewing construction drawings, which have many details on A0-size pages. Please!

(initially posted on /r/KDE but stoked to see there's a community here!)

I have a fairly new Debian KDE install - I've been tweaking and fixing things for the past week quite happily.

Was trying to fix the volume keys not working this evening. Logged into TTY2 and ran showkey --scancodes and showkey --keycodes per a forum post in an attempt to diagnose and fix. When I hit ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to my session, it was back at the login screen, as if I'd typed my password (ie dots entered for password and greyed out as if I'd then hit enter)

And there it stayed.

Reboot brings me to login, type password (fingerprint reader no longer registers) and there it hangs again.

I can log in just fine through the console (incidentally, the fingerprint reader works just fine there). startx will then happily run a gui from there with full access to my files. I've also created a new user via console and I can log in graphically just fine via that one too.

But my main user login remains stubbornly broken. Any ideas on what's happened?

I'm relatively new to Fedora and Plasma and trying to understand it better. I see in the wallpaper selection that some of them have what looks to be a light and dark version. I'm using Kinoite and have one of these wallpapers chosen but do not ever see it change. Is this a bug? Should it change? On a similar but different note I swear I saw it change on Bazzite with Plasma when I tried that at someone's house.

TUXEDO's new ARM laptops will run #Plasma6.

#kdeeco #greencomputing #efficiency

Running Endeavour OS Linux and just updated to plasma 6.0.5, framework 6.3.0, Qt version 6.7.1 on Wayland. I use capslock strictly as my brain refuses to learn using shift (I do touch type no problem), but as well know the capslock is very slow on Linux which always results in text like THis. So, I've found a fix for it online and one of the steps is to enable the option "make capslock an additional Ctrl", but that's not gone :/ What to do?

omg KDE @kde if it ain't broken, fix it until it is?

Couldn't find this info anywhere on the internet when I searched for it, so here it is for anyone who needs it:

1. Navigate to /.var/app/org.kde.kdenlive/data
2. Create a folder called 'color-schemes'
3. Copy your .colors file here (can be found here)
4. Choose the theme in Kdenlive under Settings > Colour Scheme

Have a nice weekend!

@kde Any clue why the right click menu opens as a stand alone window the first time I right click on the desktop after not right clicking for a while? It opens correctly by the mouse every time after that but will open as a stand alone the next time there is some time between right clicking.

If this makes sense.
