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.

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.

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

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