"make capslock an additional Ctrl" option was removed in the latest update in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

I use a thing called kbct for remapping CapsLock to Control: https://github.com/samvel1024/kbct

Wine apparently uses so low level input routines, this was the only way I could find that works properly. Need Control in the right spot to play Final Fantasy XIV. 😄

If I can get something working, I’d be happy to write up something. Hopefully I’ll have some time this week to poke at it some more!

Plasma 6 plasmoid tutorial? (programming.dev)

I’m looking for an up-to-date Plasma 6 tutorial for making plasmoids. Just a simple “Hello world” done correctly for Plasma 6.

The tutorial is for Plasma 5 and doesn’t work for 6 as I have no idea what I’m doing, and I haven’t found a decent way to debug these. plasmoidviewer doesn’t provide great error messages.

I found a tutorial on Medium for Plasma 6; following it I get the not-useful-at-all message on screen ("Sorry, there was an error loading Hello World."), and this in my terminal:

kf.plasma.quick: error when loading applet "ca.taffer.hello" QList()

I even installed KDevelop hoping it might have a project template, but no luck. And the “Get more templates” button in KDevelop does nothing. 🤷

I realize Plasma 6 is very recent, but my first forays into hacking for it have been insanely frustrating, which isn’t the new dev experience I want.
