The floodgates are fully open and developers have started landing juicy features for Plasma 6.1! But not just that… we asked for bug reports and you folks gave us bug reports! Usually we get …

      Seriously. And not for the features, though those are great. Best DE because this was not surprising to read:

      And yes, you can turn these features off if you don’t like them, and also adjust the size of the barrier’s virtual space

    By default, XWayland apps are now allowed to listen for non-alphanumeric keypresses, and shortcuts using modifier keys. This lets any global shortcut features they may have work with no user intervention required, while still not allowing arbitrary listening for alphanumeric keypresses which could potentially be used maliciously

    This is… very smart actually. Any reason this is limited to Xwayland? (Is that XDG portal a thing yet?)

      X apps can read all of your keystrokes. Wayland by default doesn’t allow this, and because of that apps running on XWayland can ex. have it’s global shortcuts broken. Plasma already had an option to change this behaviour back in 5.27. I guess they changed it from “Never” read keystrokes to “Only with modifier keys”, as a default.

      Shit, now malicious apps can spy my master password, which is CTRL, CTRL, ALT, META, CTRL, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, CTRL

      Can wayland native apps not do that already? I assumed that they could and that’s why this was being built for xwayland

    Glad to see a lot of the bugs are getting fixed. Even though I have not experienced most of those. Especially the minimizing dolphin thing. Mine does not have that issue.
