Started working on a new QML based KpluginSelector. But need to change it to work with KPluginMetadata instead of KPluginInfo. Bhushan: * Improving text input and input method support in KWin * we have partial support for inputmethod protocol * we don't support more advanced functionality used by ibus and fcitx5 for cjk * will work on those for next ~2weeks * refactoring input method management in KWin. * Please review! https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kscreenlocker/-/merge_requests/12 * looking with meven to fix screenshots in plamo Marco: * start with a patch to have a single header to look very similar to standard kirigami apps * some experiments on a different internal cachebased upon arjen's performance work. got things to load and be sliightly faster than master, still room for improvement * David's idea: expanding kshareddatacache to have uints as ids directly
