I added diacritics support to Plasma Keyboard!

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‽ 😁

Hello! I moved from .ART, and I guess this forces me to update my #introduction 

I'm a digital #artist and a software developer. I'm probably known for the new drawing tablet features in the #KDE Plasma 6.x series. I also co-maintain the KDE's Mastodon client Tokodon and their Matrix client NeoChat.

While I slowly re-post my old stuff, all of my work can be found on my website: https://redstrate.com/

Make BCON Austin possible this April! The Blender event for North America needs 250 more attendees to happen. Spread the word! Student discounts are available.

Starting a new thread detailing 🧵 changes I recently made in KDE's NeoChat, which may inspire other #Matrix users/clients/whatever... 

For new features they will can appear in the next new major version (like 26.04), bugfixes are assumed to be backported as soon as possible with a few exceptions.

1/many to come

The second maintenance release of the 25.12 series is with the usual batch of stability fixes and workflow improvements. Highlights of this release include fixes to various monitor issues and refactoring of the monitor dragging mechanism.

@kde

JBM has been working on refactoring #Kdenlive’s keyframing system and, along the way, is developing a dopesheet (an interface that displays all parameters in a single timeline). Below is an initial prototype.

Check out the details in the status report:
