KDE plasma desktop tour, hints and Shortcuts suggestion onboarding

Description

Description

//A description of your goal.
Onboard Tour , Hints , keyboard shortcuts needs to be shown to user that can act as a "tutorial" similar to how other software show hints or guide user to find useful shortcuts and features.

Some questions to help you:

  • What do you want to improve/change/...?

How a new user/existing user can easily find /explore features using hints or visual tutorials or something similar that is done in other software when open for the first time

  • Why does it need to be done?

Most people are not aware of necessary features or shortcuts which makes them less productive

  • How does it connect to KDE's vision of "A world in which everyone has control over their digital life and enjoys freedom and privacy"?

It gives user more information about KDE plasma and its features without needing to search for how to do "X"

  • How would it affect different parts of KDE?

It will be an addition to existing code so it wont affect the current system

What it will take

What is your plan for making it happen? What do we need to do to make this reality? What kind of support do you need?

  • Start adding features incrementally and focusing on mostly used features and features that can improve productivity
  • having a user guide with tips and tricks of using KDE is also a good idea

How we know we succeeded

can collect a feedback from users on what features and missing/not known to user

Relevant links

Any links that will help people find more information and understand the goal better?

Champions

We want this year's goals to be driven by small teams. Who will be this goals champions if selected? If you don't yet have a small team please mention what you are looking for still so others can step up. We believe a goal generally needs someone who can carry the vision of the goal forward, someone who can technically steer it and someone to promote it.

The team is:

  • XXX
  • XXX
  • XXX

I am willing to put work into this

Do we not already have this? Welcome Center more or less offers exactly what you're asking for.

Hi @amrith, just a reminder that there are 4 days left to finish polishing your proposal. Since your proposal is too narrow maybe you could join forces with the Improvements on UI/UX consistency and usability proposal. Just a suggestion. Good luck.

Hello,

Please note that the deadline just around the corner on Wednesday, so now is the time to finalize your proposal. Remember that proposals without a Goal Champion will be disqualified, so this step is crucial to ensure your idea moves forward. If you need help or have any questions, please let me know.

If you’re unable to finish your proposal but still want to participate, consider contributing to other ongoing tasks.

Thank you for submitting your ideas for the KDE Goals!
