This Week in Plasma: inertial scrolling, RDP clipboard syncing, and more session restore
Quoting: This Week in Plasma: inertial scrolling, RDP clipboard syncing, and more session restore - KDE Blogs —
Every week we cover the highlights of what’s happening in the world of KDE Plasma and its associated apps like Discover, System Monitor, and more.
This week we not only continued polishing up Plasma 6.4 in response to feedback (thanks to everyone who submitted bug reports and wrote nice emails to us), but we also started work on bigger improvements to Plasma 6.5.
Probably the biggest one is the next piece of the Wayland session restore puzzle clicking into place: David Edmundson has implemented support for the xx-session-management-v1 Wayland session restore protocol in Qt 6.10! This means that software built on top of Qt 6.10 (for example, Plasma and KDE apps) will be able to start implementing the protocol themselves. Once they do, then finally real session restore will work on Wayland. We're not all the way there yet, but we keep on working to get closer all the time!
But that’s not it! We’ve got a whole lot more, too…

KDE makes progress toward full Wayland session restore in Plasma 6.5 - Neowin
In the latest issue of This Week in Plasma, the development team, as usual, brings news of ongoing work for the desktop environment. While KDE continues to polish the recently released Plasma 6.4, work has already taken off on the next major version of Plasma, 6.5.
A significant step forward is being made on Wayland session restoration; the xx-session-management-v1 restore protocol has been implemented in Qt 6.10, which means KDE applications and Plasma itself can soon start using it to finally bring proper session restore to Wayland.
For more immediate user-facing changes in Plasma 6.5, the Welcome Center application now teaches you about the many available keyboard shortcuts, as well as "what the heck the 'Meta' key is."
