  • Sorry I’m not a dev and can’t answer your questions, just got curious: you’re asking how things like autocompletion would work with Raylib. What’s Raylib, and why would it need something special and not work the same way everything else works?

    I don’t do development but I still like coding in Python and like to know about development.







  • Well, maybe there’s a way to make dolphin or other apps have transparency or blur, I’ll be honest and say that I don’t know.

    But looking at the screenshot you posted, it’s exactly the same thing I have. On the right it’s Konsole and you can enable transparency and blur in Konsole settings without installing any additional software.

    On the left you see Dolphin and it’s not transparent or blurred. However, the menus of Dolphin are transparent and blurred. This is because in Plasma you have a desktop effect that makes all menus transparent and/or blurred, it’s a global effect and applies to all menus.

    I can’t remember where it is exactly but you don’t need to install any additional software, it’s all built into Plasma.

    At least, I have it in KDE + Arch, maybe other distros have slightly different versions of Plasma.

    If this is indeed what you want, blurred menus, I can look up where it is enabled once I get to my laptop.




  • I’d say there’s nothing ridiculous in expecting FOSS thing to be as good as non FOSS, both are made by human after all, yes more work is done by paid developers than by enthusiasts, but there’s nothing impossible about FOSS software being as good as non FOSS.

    What’s ridiculous is that people expect one software to behave the same as other software when the FOSS software does not imply in any way that it is a clone of a proprietary software and that it strives to behave the same way / be a direct replacemen. Like, yes, Inkscape is a great vector editor, but noone says it’s an Illustrator clone. You can ditch Illustrator and use Inkscape, but it isn’t a direct replacement, stuff will be different.

    There are “free clones”, like double Commander is a clone of Total Commander, and in this case it is valid to expect one to behave exactly like another.







  • Well you can have 1 letter sequences which is almost what you want. For example have a sequence that consists of single “u” key that composes into “ü” or something similar.

    I don’t know if it’s the same in every DE/Distro, but in KDE I’m pretty sure I can both hold the Compose key and type sequences, or press Compose key once and then type a sequence.

    But can’t check right now.
