Irgendwie kann ich mich mit #Yakuake nicht so recht anfreunden. Ich verwende lieber die "normale" #Konsole ...

#Linux #KDE

Today I learned that having a #4Kmonitor and a standard #HDTV (1920×1080) in a dual-monitor setup with 150% scaling will seriously confuse #KDEPlasma. #Dolphin windows open up with weird varying font sizes and #Yakuake refuses to recognize either the size or the position settings in a sane way.

Fortunately the TV serves only as a temporary secondary display for tomorrow’s #Teams meeting, then it will go.

I kinda wish #Yakuake could have a single shortcut to flip between terminals, whether they are tabs or panes. As it is now (IIRC), you have one shortcut for flipping between tabs, and another for flipping between panes.

#KDE #Plasma

Something I miss from #Tiling wms/compositors like #i3wm and #sway when I'm on #KDE:

I use #Yakuake on KDE #Plasma to have a terminal that's easily accessible, but stays out of my way when I don't want to see it.

On tiling setups, I use disappearing windows (I forget the actual name of the feature) that will pop up when I hit super+-, appear one at a time, and then disappear.

Yakuake lets you do tiling as well within its window, but I kinda miss the ability to cycle through a bunch of windows very easily. I mean, I've got the keyboard shortcuts set up very nicely, so it's just F12 to make the window appear and disappear, and then control+tab to cycle through tabs or control+pgup/pgdown to jump between panes, but somehow the tiling setup is just a bit easier to do. Less thinking, just super+-. ;)

I don't know if I'll continue to use tiling setup too much longer, though. It's too aggravating to figure out how to get the occasional gnome program to work properly. There's always some kind of fancy library initialization that I fail to get right. It's easier to just use a DE and whittle it down to nearly tiling levels of productivity.
