KDE developer Nate Graham is out with this week's development summary and some of the highlights include:
- Better performance using the Plasma Wayland session with NVIDIA GPU. This change is for Plasma 5.22 and deals with KDE's EGLStreams handling in conjunction with the binary NVIDIA driver.
- The KDE Plasma Wayland session's system tray will now show if something is recording the screen and allow it to be cancelled.
- KCommandBar is now wired up for all KXMLGui-using KDE applications.
- Spectacle now allows taking a screenshot of the current window via a global shortcut of Meta + Ctrl + Print.
- Spectacle is "much faster" and more reliable under Plasma Wayland.
- The Meta + space keyboard shortcut can be used as a "mute microphone" macro should your keyboard lack a dedicated mute microphone button.
- The Dolphin file manager will no longer randomly crash when emptying the trash.
- Disconnecting an external screen while running the Plasma Wayland session will no longer cause all open Qt applications to crash.
- Gwenview has adopted the KHamburgerMenu.
