Three more apps added to the list of “Adoptable Apps”: Konsole, NeoChat, and Kate

  • Konsole is KDE’s powerful terminal emulator. Konsole supports tabs, splitting windows, plugins, themes, and inline file previews, among many other useful features.

  • NeoChat let’s you message others on the Matrix chat platform. Connect with KDE enthusiasts, talk with contributors, keep up with minute-to-minute decisions with NeoChat.

  • Kate is a text editor, but that’s not all. It integrates with Git, checks your code, provides snippets so you don’t have to type over and over all the boring stuff, lets you edit multiple lines at the same time, and much more.

Come and adopt an app and support KDE for the long run!

Today’s 3 new apps are:

Kid3 - tag all the things! Or at least all your music. Kid 3 provides you with the easiest and fastest way to grab song titles, album data, covers, and so on off of the Internet.

Krusader - manage your files and folders as old fogeys used to, with a classic two-pane browser. Because sometimes some things do not need improving.

Yakuake - Keep your terminal always handy with Yakuake. Just press [F12] and have a full-featured terminal windows pull down from the top of your window.

Yakuake is great! One of the first things I install on a new system.

Lately I keep thnking though if this could be generalized as a KWin feature.
Something like “Move to Drawer” in the window menu which would allow a user to make any window into something that would slide out (from any of the edges).

Asides from shortcuts this could then also be combined with global gestures, e.g. swiping down to “pull Yakuake out”.

Wonder if KWin can already do that in Plasma Mobile
