@kde another feature forced really hard on users, with Konsole this time: the color preview

I can’t remember when this landed in KDE as it just added to the list of “new KDE features” I tried to ignore while struggling to keep focus, but that list never ceases to expand 😬

moreover, the option to disable that color preview feature I don’t need is burried deep: the only way to turn it off is by creating a new Konsole profile 🤦‍♂️

    One of my favourite features love it. Happy you and people who don’t want it can turn it off though so its good for all

    For those who don’t need/want it, go to your profile for Konsole, then go to Mouse, and then turn off “preview colours on hover”

        @Rustmilian @TimeWalker

        Kate Color Preview plugin can be enabled/disabled without creating a profile, also it seems to have a different behaviour.

        example from within a C/C++ file:

        uint32_t blue = 0x0000ff;
        const char* red = “#ff0000”;
        const char* color = “purple”;

        in Kate, only “#ff0000” triggers the color preview, neither blue, red, “purple” or 0x0000ff seem to trigger it

        in Konsole all of those except 0x0000ff trigger the color preview

        same color preview core, different rules maybe?

    Off-Topic: this is truly beautiful. I’m reading this thread in jerboa, which is a Lemmy Client for android, and yet it seems that it’s actually a thread on Mastodon. I love this interoperability of the fediverse!
