In KDE Plasma 6.6 Spectacle can read texts from screenshots, a new on-screen keybord is available for testing, a first-time wizard was added, current theme can be saved as a new global theme, emoji selector got a new easier skin tone selection, you can now connect to a Wi-Fi network via a QR code, application sound volume can be changed by scrolling over a taskbar button via mouse, and there is much more.

Optional support for using game controllers as regular input devices

Nice, can't wait to try that out on my Steam Deck. If the new Plasma Keyboard also supported modifier keys that would make 6.6 doubly useful.

Ooh, I wonder if I can stop using GPU Screen Recorder, the previous update to Spectactle broke the spectacle screen recorder for me
