Ritual for setting up a KDE environment

These are the steps to follow to set up a kde environment, in more or less the order or urgency.

Virtual desktops

Can't live without this. Declare $4\times4$ in Settings then for Switching, first "Always Enabled" switching desktop on edge (0ms or minimum for everything, no animation) in Shortcuts KWin family such as:

• Ctrl+(left,right,up,down): navigate through desktops (staying in the same row/column).
• Ctrl+Alt+Shift+(left,right,up,down): navigate through desktops (seemingly)
• Ctrl+Alt+(left,right,up,down): drag active window navigate through desktops.

The shortcuts are now to be found in KWin's Global Shortcuts.

To zoom in/out, go in Desktop Behaviour, and select Desktop Grid with shortcut Alt+E. Remove fading for both desktop & windows.

In Window Management/Window Behaviour Alt+Mouse Wheel => Raise/Lower.

Shortcuts

1. PRE Ctrl+Alt+P generates a <pre></pre> tag.
2. spacehtml Ctrl+Shift+Space generates a  
3. displaystyle Ctrl+Alt+D generated displaystyle (useful for Canvas)
4. julia Ctrl+Alt+J generates a Julia snippet:

   <syntaxhighlight lang="python"></syntaxhighlight>

   which is actually python until I get support for julia.
5. tt Ctrl+Alt+T generates a <tt></tt> tag
6. wz Ctrl+Alt+W generates a wz <wz tip="">(?!)</wz> tag.
7. wz-tip Ctrl+Alt+Shift+W generates a <wz tagtotip=></wz><span id=""></span> tag.
8. bib Ctrl+Alt+B opens by bibTeX file.

They are all defined in this file which you can import.

Konqueror

I use this as the file browser (better than dolphin).

It has a lot of configurations in itself, most of them obvious.
