### Topics from Nate's blog
Moving backwards from last. Finished 30/Dec.
* In the Media Player widget, you can now swipe up/down to change the volume, and left/right to change the playback position https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2438
* System Settings’ Shortcuts page now features a significantly more obvious and useful UI for adding custom commands! https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1253
* System Settings’ Launch Feedback page is no more, and everything on it has been moved into a popup accessible from the Cursors page, with an actual explanation of what the settings do https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2466 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/531 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2471#note_588716
* The “Highlight Changed Settings” button that currently lives on a footer in the System Settings sidebar has been moved to the hamburger menu to streamline the UI https://invent.kde.org/plasma/systemsettings/-/merge_requests/177
* When pasting links into a Notes widget using the standard Paste action, they are now pasted as clickable links by default. And if you want to remove formatting, there’s a new context menu item for that too! https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/merge_requests/303 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/merge_requests/310
* You can now move a single window to another activity using the titlebar context menu https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440036
* While in Touch Mode, the global Edit Mode toolbar now lets you open the full desktop context menu too, so nothing in there is ever totally inaccessible when using a touch device https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1313 https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/merge_requests/674
* Info Center can now show you [OpenCL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCL) info on its own new dedicated page, if you have the clinfo utility installed https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kinfocenter/-/merge_requests/124
* In the Plasma Wayland session, KWin now sends along pen tilt and rotation events to apps https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/3364
* The way KRunner displays information about time zones has been substantially improved, making it easier to parse the output, and fixing a couple of bugs https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/merge_requests/292
* It’s now possible to configure the Color Picker widget to display up to 9 color preview dots for quick use (in case you didn’t know, you can drag colors out of them and onto something else), or none at all if you don’t use them because you use the widget as just a way to get color code values into your clipboard https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/merge_requests/293
* You can now reverse the ordering of tasks in the Plasma Task Manager widget on vertical panels, to complement existing support on horizontal panels https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1301

* The Battery and Brightness and Media Player widgets’ tooltips now indicate that you can do something by scrolling over them. This should be all of them! https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/537f50a397eee64718806686d5a5045bd1112eab https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/2414
* The System Tray config window’s list of applets has been made fully keyboard-navigable and accessible https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434432...
