@kde another feature forced really hard on users, with Konsole this time: the color preview

I can't remember when this landed in KDE as it just added to the list of "new KDE features" I tried to ignore while struggling to keep focus, but that list never ceases to expand 😬

moreover, the option to disable that color preview feature I don't need is burried deep: the only way to turn it off is by creating a new Konsole profile 🤦‍♂️

@SigHunter when the mouse hovers a 24 bits hex code or a color name in the terminal, it shows a color preview tooltip containing a squared filled with that color

see the original mastodon post in context for screenshots:

Kate Color Preview plugin can be enabled/disabled without creating a profile, also it seems to have a different behaviour.

example from within a C/C++ file:

uint32_t blue = 0x0000ff;
const char* red = "";
const char* color = "purple";

in Kate, only "" triggers the color preview, neither blue, red, "purple" or 0x0000ff seem to trigger it

in Konsole all of those except 0x0000ff trigger the color preview

same color preview core, different rules maybe?

@Bro666

thanks for the good advice, looks like most important feedback has already been given so I'll pass

also the account creation disclaimer is scary

    @kde solved by running "sudo downgrade kcalc" and selecting the latest 22.x version and adding kcalc to IgnorePkg

    yes it's brutal, but breaking a11y support is worse
