another feature forced really hard on users, with Konsole this time: the color preview
  • @Rustmilian @TimeWalker

    Kate Color Preview plugin can be enabled/disabled without creating a profile, also it seems to have a different behaviour.

    example from within a C/C++ file:

    uint32_t blue = 0x0000ff;
    const char* red = "#ff0000";
    const char* color = "purple";

    in Kate, only "#ff0000" triggers the color preview, neither blue, red, "purple" or 0x0000ff seem to trigger it

    in Konsole all of those except 0x0000ff trigger the color preview

    same color preview core, different rules maybe?

  • @SigHunter when the mouse hovers a 24 bits hex code or a color name in the terminal, it shows a color preview tooltip containing a squared filled with that color

    see the original mastodon post in context for screenshots:

    I can't remember when this landed in KDE as it just added to the list of "new KDE features" I tried to ignore while struggling to keep focus, but that list never ceases to expand 😬

    moreover, the option to disable that color preview feature I don't need is burried deep: the only way to turn it off is by creating a new Konsole profile 🤦‍♂️

    omg KDE if it ain't broken, fix it until it is?
  • @kde solved by running "sudo downgrade kcalc" and selecting the latest 22.x version and adding kcalc to IgnorePkg

    yes it's brutal, but breaking a11y support is worse

    spammers aren't the only bad actors 😉

    I really hope KDE will come to their senses and allow more login options

  • @Bro666

    thanks for the good advice, looks like most important feedback has already been given so I'll pass

    also the account creation disclaimer is scary

  • omg KDE if it ain't broken, fix it until it is?
  • @mox wow that's even worse than losing continuity for the sakes of that new history feature (using Kcalc version 24.05.0)

    here's what I did before getting the input error:

    2*2 [enter]

    *2 [enter]

    I was expecting to read "8" but got "input error" instead

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

    my version is kcalc 24.05.0

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

    you're right it's reductive, I'll delete that last message

  • @Xirup thanks! it looks perfect for keyboard interactions and the undo feature is super neat 👍

    I'll still keep Kcalc for the binary edition though

  • omg KDE if it ain't broken, fix it until it is?
  • @kde because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done, whomever had the dumb idea to break something that's been working perfectly for years should really reconsider their life goals

  • omg KDE if it ain't broken, fix it until it is?
  • @kde what's this new input line for? does it solve a problem? how can I get rid of it?
