New blog post with some updates on my work as Plasma Software Engineer.

https://merritt.codes/blog/2026/09/08/2026/_plasma-software-engineer-update

Anyone who has been dying for a full keyboard layout in plasma-keyboard should give plasma-morekeys a try!

I added diacritics support to Plasma Keyboard!

https://merritt.codes/blog/2026/03/13/2026/_plasma-keyboard-funding-diacritics

Now I can more easily write German words as I continue learning it, such as: über, schön, and Straße!

Also, I can sprinkle my lovely symbols in my writing without having to resort to the compose key or copy-pasting — isn't that great‽ 😁

*does a little dance*

I love when there is a crazy difficult, obtuse problem that won't budge for hours/days.. and then you solve it!

Take that, Wayland protocols! 💃

@scottjenson@social.coop I see you are on the schedule for a talk at #KDE #Akademy in #Graz! I am really looking forward to your talk, glad my suggestion for you to present was well-received. 😀

@scottjenson @akademy@floss.social @akademy@lemmy.kde.social I really enjoyed your talk "Are we stuck with the same Desktop UX forever?" and would love to hear your thoughts on KDE's historic & current UI/UX. I am sure you could say a thing or two on our past 30 years of software (and where we can go in the future)! I wouldn't be surprised if KDE e.V. would sponsor your travel if you wanted to join us for Akademy. I am definitely not the only one in KDE who'd love to sit down and talk with you :D

@bogdanbiv@mastodon.social I'm not sure about how other GUI toolkits do it, but the way those hints are applied by Qt can indeed be read by plasma-keyboard.

Replying to
@bogdanbiv@mastodon.social Yes, most toolkits provide a way for an app to specify what a textfield should support (e.g. digits only, email characters, etc). Qt for example: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-textinput.html#inputMethodHints-prop
doc.qt.io

TextInput QML Type | Qt Quick | Qt 6.11.2

@Beurt@mamot.fr I installed "Show Me The Key" to create the demo video. Now we need to add showing such key-pressed overlay to Spectacle recordings! 🔥

I was on the fence about getting a power bank that could charge my laptop.. now the power has been out for an hour and it is starting to sound like a good idea 🙃

Canada Day 🇨🇦 was fun this year.. spent several hours bailing water out of the basement because the sump pump couldn't keep up with the sudden, massive downpour.

The normally ~10 minute drive home took almost an hour, trying to find a road that wasn't flooded out and being *boated* on, passing abandoned cars half covered in water and etc..

Hopefully today will be quieter, if still pretty hot. 😅
