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!)
