Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in Plasma"! Every week we cover the highlights of what's happening in the world of KDE Plasma and its associated apps like Discover, System Monitor, and more.
Overhauled the portal-based shortcut chooser window to look nicer and be easier to use. (David Redondo, link)
Aside from being more intuitive when used intentionally, this will also have the side-effect of making it clearer to folks what’s happening when applications misbehave in handling global shortcuts - like in KDE Shortcut Settings Popup Appears Every Chromium Launch After Update
Fixed auto-updates in Discover even moar betterer! (Yosuke Matsumura, link)
This one is especially cool for a couple reasons, in my opinion:
It’s a 3 1/2 year old bug - yes, long-standing bugs can get fixed, it just takes someone with the time, ability and interest to figure it out!
The person who submitted the merge request is a self-described coding novice, making their first contribution to a KDE project - reading through that is a really cool example of open development of free software in action 
(The process of an experienced developer reviewing that code even led to another underlying issue being found and fixed!)
