I wonder if it is even ethical to enlist affiliation to the university if my funding comes directly from a funding institute, I'm buying and using my own hardware and software (down to the HDMI cable and mouse), and the data is also coming directly from another organization. The coffee and food is also off my own pocket.

The only things they provide are electricity (computer, coffee), water (coffee), and internet.

Let know your thoughts.

One of the KDE Plasma features I use almost in daily basis is the MouseMark.

Go to your settings, in Desktop Effects, Enable the MouseMark (you can change the settings of it in the button in front of it). Then press Meta+Shift and move your mouse to doodle, or press and release Meta+Shift+Ctrl to define beginning and end of an arrow (it will draw the rest.

Interestingly enough, it have been in Plasma for the past 16 years:

The webpage of kde.org in Firefox tab, on which I have drawn two red arrows pointing at the "Plasma" word, and hand-drawn a check mark over "for Linux".

😅 😂 Yeah, That's why I explicitly explained the arrow-drawing process in my toot 😉 I also had this problem and figured out how to do it today. The keybinding and behavior for arrows is poorly designed imho and I hope KDE folks improve it.

But for now, this is how you should draw an arrow:

  1. move your mouse where you want the arrow head to be
  2. press and release Meta+Ctrl+Shift
  3. move your mouse to where the tail should be
  4. repeat step 2
