There is an implementation for such tips for applications: https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kconfigwidgets/html/classKTipDialog.html According to lxr.kde.org, no application uses it. The documentation also mentions this sentence: “Since 5.83, write the information to the handbook instead”
Tips in splash screen on startup (suggestion)
Hello everyone, KDE has a lot of features that most people don't know about, so what if a tip was shown on the splash screen during each startup? For example, the first startup could show: > Tip #1: You can open a terminal inside Dolphin using CTRL+SHIFT+F4 at the bottom of the screen. Then the next could show > Tip #2: You can manage your Google Drive by adding an online account in the settings (I'm just using these examples to show what I mean by "features that most people don't know about". There's definitely a ton of these, so if the developers of different projects added a few tips to the list, these features could be used by more people) There could be a setting to configure them to: 1. Numerical order 2. Random 3. Hidden / Disabled Thoughts? Sam
