What is this project about ?

This project is used to share initial KDE neon settings that simplify even further some of the defaults in KDE neon. The overall goal is to provide a clean & powerful workflow without giving up usability enhancements that take advantage of modern hardware.

It's available in two flavours:

How does it work ?

Everything is done on top of KDE neon, it does not require any external dependency.

KDE neon

It works by providing pre-defined config files that were isolated from a fresh KDE neon installation. It contains modifications all over KDE from little things aka not showing the bouncing icon during the launch of applications () to changing some of the global shortcuts (described further below).

How do I get it ?

You can get it by simply running the line bellow in your terminal 👇

cd $(mktemp -d) && wget https://github.com/paulondc/kdeNeonDefaults/archive/master.zip -O kdeNeonDefaults.zip && unzip kdeNeonDefaults.zip && cd kdeNeonDefaults-master && ./setup

Be aware by running the setup it will override your current settings (you may want to create a backup of your current configuration for the directories ~/.config, ~/.kde and ~/.local beforehand).

Customized shortcuts:

  • open dolphin: super + e
  • open konsole: super + r
  • minimize/restore all windows: super + d
  • close current window: ctrl + w or alt + F4
  • change to next virtual desktop: alt + left
  • change to previous virtual desktop: alt + right

For the next set of shortcuts I recommend you to put a sticker on F8 key: key

  • present all windows (expose): F8
  • show desktop grid (spaces): ctrl + F8
  • show desktop: shift + F8

Fine integrated/customized applications:

  • kwrite
  • dolphin
  • konsole
  • kdiff3
  • konversation
