#PSA: things that are still broken in #KDE #Plasma #Wayland session (minor) as of 6.3.4

  • Windowshade only works with X11 windows
  • No compatibility with wtype, and ydotool doesn't handle Unicode (or at least, not emoji) (So, now way to inject text into the active window, like for an emoji picker)
  • No way (that I've found so far) to get the title/name of the active window
    • Correction: this is doable with kdotool: kdotool getwindowname $(kdotool getactivewindow)

That's it so far. I'll add to this if I find/remember anything else.

One more thing I've just observed: the mouse cursor doesn't disappear in LibreOffice Calc when just moving the selection cursor with the arrow keys. It does disappear (as I have specified in settings) when you actually type something in, though.
