@sri@mastodon.social @codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org @AleixPol@fosstodon.org @MichaelTunnell@mastodon.social @LAS@floss.social Totally understandable, don't even worry about it - you were great! Really love the view of the room in the background btw, looks really nice and cozy.

I was on the fence about getting a power bank that could charge my laptop.. now the power has been out for an hour and it is starting to sound like a good idea 🙃

@scottjenson @akademy@floss.social @akademy@lemmy.kde.social I really enjoyed your talk "Are we stuck with the same Desktop UX forever?" and would love to hear your thoughts on KDE's historic & current UI/UX. I am sure you could say a thing or two on our past 30 years of software (and where we can go in the future)! I wouldn't be surprised if KDE e.V. would sponsor your travel if you wanted to join us for Akademy. I am definitely not the only one in KDE who'd love to sit down and talk with you :D

#KDE just had a "Mega Sprint" in lovely Graz, Austria where I got together with some lovely people and got tons of work done/had a great time!

@bogdanbiv@mastodon.social I'm not sure about how other GUI toolkits do it, but the way those hints are applied by Qt can indeed be read by plasma-keyboard.

@bogdanbiv@mastodon.social Yes, most toolkits provide a way for an app to specify what a textfield should support (e.g. digits only, email characters, etc). Qt for example: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-textinput.html#inputMethodHints-prop

@Beurt@mamot.fr I installed "Show Me The Key" to create the demo video. Now we need to add showing such key-pressed overlay to Spectacle recordings! 🔥

I added diacritics support to Plasma Keyboard!

https://merritt.codes/blog/2026/03/13/2026/_plasma-keyboard-funding-diacritics

Now I can more easily write German words as I continue learning it, such as: über, schön, and Straße!

Also, I can sprinkle my lovely symbols in my writing without having to resort to the compose key or copy-pasting — isn't that great‽ 😁
