The KDE Goals initiative is working to improve support for input devices such as game controllers, fancy mice, handhelds — anything for your gaming needs.
This Sunday, Oct 20th at 18:00 (UTC), the KDE Goals champions will be answering your questions live. Post your questions here and I’ll make sure they’ll answer them.
We’ll be streaming here: https://tube.kockatoo.org/w/2tAyknEQc8EhL2AyoAUE8M
You can get in touch with the community at the Matrix room.
Most important feature whoch Gnome has for Years.
2 or more Mices at the same time with its own focus. Something that KDE can’t handle at all, because those two mice positions are figthing for the cursor
I’m curious. What’s the use case for two (or more) mice?
A lot of new game ideas.
It was a wish when I started to develop my own 3D Engine with OpenGL.
But after finishing it to a point where I am happy, I would try going to Godot and Bevy.
Maybe I will try to create something first in Gnome, but I dislike Gnome a bit after 3 Years of usage and a switch to KDE for 2 Years.
Co-op web browsing and also pvp
pvp? are there games that can handle this? or you mean something else?
I mean that just by having two people with a mouse cursor at the same time is already a competition to see how can actually use the pc
how can we have relatively simpler touch gestures? mostly what I’m thinking about is long press for imitating a right click, but text selection with popup copy/paste/etc buttons would also be useful.
I would say it’s also inconvenient that we don’t have a good touch keyboard for wayland, but you probably know that.
maliit is hard to build, afaik not packaged for any distro, buggy and not customizable (or if it is, it is not documented anywhere else than the code), apparently there is no way to limit it’s width, which makes usage harder on tablet sized screens. it has also been abandoned by the devs.
squeekboard is not compatible with KDE wayland because of missing protocols.
onboard is X only.long press for imitating a right click, but text selection with popup copy/paste/etc buttons would also be useful.
Unfortunately that’s not something that can be done system wide, apps have to handle that themselves.
afaik not packaged for any distro
It’s packaged in every widely used distro.
