KDE is turdware

Name: Anonymous 2015-10-15 7:50

It's meant to be super configurable. I can't even configure this:

The key marked `Ctrl' on the left of my keyboard is Super
The key marked with a windows logo is Shift level 3
The key marked with a context menu is Shift level 3
Capslock is Control

And when I configure it via xmodmap then KDE does some shit whenever I connect or disconnect my mouse and I have to run xmodmap again, and because xmodmap is it's own kind of turd and the way it keeps state is undocumented (it does not start from a clean state every time you call it!), I have to run it n times before it has the desired effect, where n is hitherto unkown to me.

I can't wait for Emacs 25 so I can just exwm.

Or one of the three thousand other window managers you could use.

No exceptions.

You don't have to wait. Just compile it from the master branch.

Compiling C++ is a bad idea unless you have time to waste.

No software written in C++ can be open source for the simple reason that C++ is both unreadable and so slow to compile, that it would be impossible for someone to make xir own binaries.

I refuse to implement C++ in my compiler.

I never understood why would anyone use C++. Aren't better languages such as the Lithp dialects, ML or C enough for them?

In fact, using Java would probably be a better idea.

Why do you hate me? I you did not hate me you would not use C++.

That's not KDE, I have this problem on i3 as well (with my keyboard though, not sure about the mouse). It must be an X issue.

Anyone know how I can get a shell script to run whenever I plug in a keyboard?

Make a script to continuously scan for the keyboard and run some code when it detects it. It's a hack though. There should be a better way.

udev might do the job

Don't change these.
