# KDE
A guide how to setup KDE similar to GNOME experience.
* Install packages `plasma` (all and maybe uninstall `discover` later)
* Install some apps: `partitionmanager ark gwenview okular kcalc kdiff3`
* Install `latte-dock` for a reasonable dock
* (**optional**) For KDE's Software Center (Discover), install backends `packagekit-qt5`
* Adapt styles
* Adapt Font Settings according to screenshot
* Use `Breeze Twilight` as global theme
* Adapt GTK style to also use `Breeze`
* Maybe qdbus is slow when shutting down, use `/desktop/` files and drag to desktop from a location, then add as Widget and move to top panel
* Import keybindings from files
* (**optional**) Firefox KDE: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#KDE_integration
* Install `xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde`
* Different uses of _meta_ key
* Native _"show all"_ windows
```sh
kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,ExposeAll";
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure;
```
* Native _"show current workspace"_ windows
```sh
kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,Expose";
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure;
```
* kwin script _Parachute_ to simulate behavior which requires https://github.com/tcorreabr/Parachute (via _AUR_)
```sh
kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group ModifierOnlyShortcuts --key Meta "org.kde.kglobalaccel,/component/kwin,org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component,invokeShortcut,Parachute";
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure;
```
* Set default applications (e.g. Terminal)
* Use systemd start instead of boot scripts: `kwriteconfig5 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot true`
* Maybe sync the following configuration files to track changes
```sh
.config/kdeglobals
.config/kglobalshortcutsrc
.config/khotkeysrc
.config/krunnerrc
.config/kwinrc
.config/kwinrulesrc
.config/kwalletrc
.config/dolphinrc
.config/latte
.config/lattedockrc
.config/syncthingtray.ini
.config/rsibreakrc
.config/plasma-localerc
```
