       "This Week in Plasma" brings the news that...You can use long-presses on your regular keyboard to access alternative glyphs—just like on your phone, e.g. press and hold down [$] and a popup appears that let's you choose between €, £, ¥, ¢, ₹. Also new is that you can download and install alternative sound themes and that we reduced CPU and GPU load for full-screen windows on screens using more fractional scale factors, and much more!https://blogs.kde.org/2026/03/14/this-week-in-plasma-press-and-hold-for-alternative-characters/#desktop #FreeSoftware #openSource

       @joat@mastodon.scot @kde@floss.social It's actually really useful, I have a Mac for work and sometimes need to type Polish or Czech characters, and it works reaaally well

       @natty @kde I look forward to it. I currently use the compose key for French characters but having it work like a phone keyboard is a great idea, should reduce cognitive load.
