In KDE Plasma 6.6 Spectacle can read texts from screenshots, a new on-screen keybord is available for testing, a first-time wizard was added, current theme can be saved as a new global theme, emoji selector got a new easier skin tone selection, you can now connect to a Wi-Fi network via a QR code, application sound volume can be changed by scrolling over a taskbar button via mouse, and there is much more.

Alt-double-click to open Properties on a file is straight out of Windows. It's something I really missed!

Looks like a lot of small improvements and polish. Can't wait to give it a go.

thats exactly what plasma needs right now. feels like every time I read this week in plasma they just extracted it straight from my mind and fixed the things that were bugging me.

The taskbar and calendar looks so good, why don't they adopt that style to the settings app and file explorer as well?
