5 of the Most Useful KDE Plasma Desktop Features
Are you using KDE Plasma but feel like you're only scratching the surface? Wondering what productivity gems might be hiding in plain sight? Well, let me share five secret features that'll transform how you use your KDE Plasma desktop.
From window management shortcuts to clipboard superpowers, KDE Plasma is packed with powerful features—some of which are hard to discover if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Lucky for you, I have spotlighted five of Plasma’s hidden gems so you know exactly where to look and how to use them.
5 Emoji Selector
First on the list is KDE Plasma's built-in Emoji Selector. You can press Meta+. (period) at any time to bring up the small emoji picker with categories, a search box, and the standard selection of all the Unicode emojis. You can click on one of the emojis to save it to your clipboard and then paste it anywhere you want. It’s fast, lightweight, and integrated right into the desktop, which makes it far more convenient than keeping an emoji website open in a browser tab.
