Great release.

However I’m still waiting for snapping/alignment/distribution to be usable. Right now, some things override others (even when holding a modifier to constrain node to an axis, it will snap to things that are not aligned with the axis), and because of visual vs geometric bounding box when resizing things it will snap to align with other shapes but when you let go of LMB, the object won’t be aligned anyway (so what was the point of snapping in the first place).

Also sometimes things will snap to a guideline from a mile away, when things I’m trying to move are nowhere close to a guideline.

I’m coming drom other software (specifically, Corel Draw) and understand it’s not fair to compare different tools and demand from one to mimic the other, especially when Inkscape is FOSS and Corel Draw is a commercial product made by paid developers. And you could also say most of things I’m complaining about are muscle memory things because I’ve been using Corel for years and need to let go of old habits and get used to Inkscape if I want to switch to it rather than demand Inkscape to be more Corel like.

But I still believe Corel does some things just right. I pretty much never needed to turn off snapping in Corel and “it just worked”™, objects would never snap to a guide on the other side of the screen and constrained nodes (when holding Shift) would still both be constrained to axis and snap to objects, meaning it snaps on the intersection of the other object and the axis I’m moving along.

Also if I’m resizing a box and the edge snaps to a guide, when I let go, in Corel the edge of the box will 100% be aligned with the guide, unlike in Inkscape.

I’m pretty sure some of these issues are because of Geometric vs Visual bounding box differences, and it’s good we can at least choose between the two: Corel can’t even deal with visual bounding boxes IIRC. You work with geometric bounding box only.

I think adding the toggle somewhere in the toolbar would be a great thing so that we don’t have to go into the menu and find it every time, maybe even a hotkey to toggle between the two.

It’s worse when you have a bugged function, try to fix it, and no matter what you change it’s still bugged because an hour later you realize there is a function with the same name that redefines the function you were changing anyway somewhere else in the code.

Is this yet another Conversations for?

Yeah, both steam and discord do this and it’s stupid.

Sorry, can’t help you, but I’m sure the other comment already gave you a working solution.

Can you press “custom” and enter 0?

Sorry I’m not a dev and can’t answer your questions, just got curious: you’re asking how things like autocompletion would work with Raylib. What’s Raylib, and why would it need something special and not work the same way everything else works?

I don’t do development but I still like coding in Python and like to know about development.

I wish it was only about software…

No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.

Hmm, maybe when I tested the programs I ran were not native Wayland, or I’m missing something.

Sorry.

I found one that works when I needed it, IIRC it’s called screenkey, it works on Wayland but I think it needs to run as root for this to work.

I don’t know where to get it but it was in AUR if you use Arch.

Modern UIs suck in general, be it FOSS or not FOSS. The “slick” and “minimal” apple style interfaces are just a mess of monochrome icons all over the place.

Yes, I’m ranting.

Well, maybe there’s a way to make dolphin or other apps have transparency or blur, I’ll be honest and say that I don’t know.

But looking at the screenshot you posted, it’s exactly the same thing I have. On the right it’s Konsole and you can enable transparency and blur in Konsole settings without installing any additional software.

On the left you see Dolphin and it’s not transparent or blurred. However, the menus of Dolphin are transparent and blurred. This is because in Plasma you have a desktop effect that makes all menus transparent and/or blurred, it’s a global effect and applies to all menus.

I can’t remember where it is exactly but you don’t need to install any additional software, it’s all built into Plasma.

At least, I have it in KDE + Arch, maybe other distros have slightly different versions of Plasma.

If this is indeed what you want, blurred menus, I can look up where it is enabled once I get to my laptop.

Can you please upload a screenshot of what you’re trying to achieve?

Konsole has background blur by default and I use that.

I’d say there’s nothing ridiculous in expecting FOSS thing to be as good as non FOSS, both are made by human after all, yes more work is done by paid developers than by enthusiasts, but there’s nothing impossible about FOSS software being as good as non FOSS.

What’s ridiculous is that people expect one software to behave the same as other software when the FOSS software does not imply in any way that it is a clone of a proprietary software and that it strives to behave the same way / be a direct replacemen. Like, yes, Inkscape is a great vector editor, but noone says it’s an Illustrator clone. You can ditch Illustrator and use Inkscape, but it isn’t a direct replacement, stuff will be different.

There are “free clones”, like double Commander is a clone of Total Commander, and in this case it is valid to expect one to behave exactly like another.

+1 for postfix.

I may also want to type out someone’s email NOT in an email client, while in terminal, for example in bash shell or in vim.

Is there Google and/or Outlook integration into a terminal (Konsole) I’m not aware of?

Because email clients are not the only place where I enter emails. And not every program supports address book integration.

I might be filling out online forms and enter someone’s email or phone number or any other long string such as full name I can’t remember how to properly spell.

Well you can have 1 letter sequences which is almost what you want. For example have a sequence that consists of single “u” key that composes into “ü” or something similar.

I don’t know if it’s the same in every DE/Distro, but in KDE I’m pretty sure I can both hold the Compose key and type sequences, or press Compose key once and then type a sequence.

But can’t check right now.

Could you please ELI5 what are spill ranges?
