Introducing ottens.js inspired by Kevin’s great talk at aKademy script that does to your web page what should have been done a long time ago. Just call the function when your page has been loaded.

function ottensize() {
    var html = document.body.innerHTML;
    html = html.replace('hacking', 'crafting');
    html = html.replace('hacked', 'crafted');

    document.body.innerHTML = html;
}

If you like to keep your project-related files on your desktop for easy access, you might have kept links to them in different folders which you placed in a folder view.

Now, it is much easier, just link them to the activity they belong to, and set the folder view to display it.

News from the Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things:

Another feature has returned. This time with less issues and much more speed.

(yes, activities do need a new icon :) )

If you are not a fan of using an online source code searching tool like lxr.kde.org, but are still tired of grepping for a particular class or function in the KDE Frameworks (and other projects as well), you might find the GNU Global tool quite useful.

It is similar to ctags and cscope, but IMO it works nicer.

You can index your desired project (or everything at once) simply by calling gtags in the project’s root. Later, in order to incrementally update the tags files, you can just call global -u.

There are a few options when searching already indexed source tree that I find most useful:

• no options at all :) - searches for the specified symbol definitions
• -r - searches for usages of the specified symbol
• --result grep - apart from listing the contained files, also prints out the line contents.

For other available options, just check out the man page.

All plugins from the old activity manager are ported to the new version.

This means that one of the most requested features is coming back - you will be able to set custom keyboard shortcuts for individual activities as soon as Plasma 5.1 comes out.

Also, the system settings module for configuring activities is back to its full glory (modulo one little visual issue).
