@cellfourteen@social.petertoushkov.euSince currently the pop-up window functionality of GoldenDict-ng is kind of bugged on KDE, this script might help.
You'll need kdotool and wl-clipboard. Add the script to the KDE menu and set a global keyboard shortcut. The shortcut will also work if the clipboard is empty (just showing GoldenDict).
#GoldenDict
![#!/bin/bash
WINDOW_ID=$(kdotool search --name "GoldenDict-ng")
ACTIVE_ID=$(kdotool getactivewindow)
if [ "$WINDOW_ID" == "$ACTIVE_ID" ]; then
# Window is active and on top
kdotool -q search --name "GoldenDict-ng" windowclose
else
# Window is either hidden, minimized, or in the background
goldendict "$(wl-paste --primary)" # will grab the whole selection; remove quotes for the first word only
kdotool -q search --name "GoldenDict-ng" windowactivate
fi

@mrysav@social.linux.pizzaBeen trying to reduce my VS Code dependency lately and switched to #KDE Kate, which actually has gone pretty well. The hardest things to adjust to are the little UI/UX differences that I've gotten used to for ~12 years or whatever.
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaDeleting 225 Noto fonts every time I install KDE is one of those sloppy, lazy things that pisses me off. Ain't gonna use Old Hungarian anyway. And why Okular needs 25 (I counted them) VLC plugins, is beyond me also. I thought this was a document reader?
#kde
@thesaigoneer@social.linux.pizzaFor KDE I've recently settled on Alpine Linux. I've been around the block on Plasma and I can assure you it is one of the best out there. Couple that with blazingly fast mirrors, LUKS encryption, flatpaks and setup scripts and you have a winner. Not for beginners, but absolutely worth a go. Recommended!
