KDE developers continue preparing Plasma 6.6, and although there are still over two months to go before the final stable release (scheduled for February 17, 2026), the team posts weekly updates on the KDE Blogs about what changes to expect from this version. After covering some of them last week, we now have a new batch to look at.

This time, several UI improvements stand out. Desktop items now support Alt-click and Alt-double-click to open their properties, matching the behavior already familiar from Dolphin. Notifications also become less intrusive: when multiple printer cartridges run low on ink simultaneously, Plasma will present a single consolidated alert instead of several separate ones.
