众所周知，KDE 的 Plasma 是 Linux 下最强大的桌面环境之一。它是高度可定制的，并且看起来也很棒。当你完成所有的配置工作后，你才能体会到它的所有特性。


你能够轻松地配置 Plasma 桌面并且使用它大量方便且节省时间的特性来加速你的工作，拥有一个能够帮助你而非阻碍你的桌面环境。


以下这些提示并没有特定顺序，因此你无需按次序阅读。你只需要挑出最适合你的工作流的那几个即可。

### 1、多媒体控制


这点不太算得上是一条提示，因为它是很容易被记在脑海里的。Plasma 可在各处进行多媒体控制。当你需要暂停、继续或跳过一首歌时，你不需要每次都打开你的媒体播放器。你能够通过将鼠标移至那个最小化窗口之上，甚至通过锁屏进行控制。当你需要切换歌曲或忘了暂停时，你也不必麻烦地登录再进行操作。


### 2、KRunner


![KDE Plasma KRunner](/data/attachment/album/201902/25/231621go6jk66nv0nofjn0.jpg "KDE Plasma KRunner")


KRunner 是 Plasma 桌面中一个经常受到赞誉的特性。大部分人习惯于穿过层层的应用启动菜单来找到想要启动的程序。当你使用 KRunner 时就不需要这么做。


为了使用 KRunner，确保你当前的活动焦点在桌面本身（点击桌面而不是窗口）。然后开始输入你想要启动的应用名称，KRunner 将会带着建议项从你的屏幕顶部自动下拉。在你寻找的匹配项上点击或敲击回车键。这比记住你每个应用所属的类别要更快。


### 3、跳转列表


![KDE Plasma 的跳转列表](/data/attachment/album/201902/25/231624y11czrpi772lxlxc.jpg "KDE Plasma Jump Lists")


跳转列表功能是最近才被添加进 Plasma 桌面的。它允许你在启动应用时直接跳转至特定的区域或特性部分。


因此如果你在菜单栏上有一个应用启动图标，你可以通过右键得到可跳转位置的列表。选择你想要跳转的位置，然后就可以“起飞”了。


### 4、KDE Connect


![KDE Connect Android 客户端菜单](/data/attachment/album/201902/25/231625gw4vj7dhsfhf578r.jpg "KDE Connect Menu Android")


如果你有一个安卓手机，那么 [KDE Connect](https://www.maketecheasier.com/send-receive-sms-linux-kde-connect/) 会为你提供大量帮助。它可以将你的手机连接至你的桌面，由此你可以在两台设备间无缝地共享。


通过 KDE Connect，你能够在你的桌面上实时地查看 [Android 设备通知](https://www.maketecheasier.com/android-notifications-ubuntu-kde-connect/)。它同时也让你能够从 Plasma 中收发文字信息，甚至不需要拿起你的手机。


KDE Connect 也允许你在手机和电脑间发送文件或共享网页。你可以轻松地从一个设备转移至另一设备，而无需烦恼或打乱思绪。


### 5、Plasma Vaults


![KDE Plasma Vault](/data/attachment/album/201902/25/231626hd2frdlk42mrd8nr.jpg "KDE Plasma Vault")


Plasma Vaults 是 Plasma 桌面的另一个新功能。它的 KDE 为加密文件和文件夹提供的简单解决方案。如果你不使用加密文件，此项功能不会为你节省时间。如果你使用，Vaults 是一个更简单的途径。


Plasma Vaults 允许你以无 root 权限的普通用户创建加密目录，并通过你的任务栏来管理它们。你能够快速地挂载或卸载目录，而无需外部程序或附加权限。


### 6、Pager 控件


![KDE Plasma Pager](/data/attachment/album/201902/25/231629mzf4abz4b81a9is1.jpg "KDE Plasma Pager")


配置你的桌面的 pager 控件。它允许你轻松地切换至另三个附加工作区，带来更大的屏幕空间。


将控件添加到你的菜单栏上，然后你就可以在多个工作区间滑动切换。每个工作区都与你原桌面的尺寸相同，因此你能够得到数倍于完整屏幕的空间。这就使你能够排布更多的窗口，而不必受到一堆混乱的最小化窗口的困扰。


### 7、创建一个 Dock


![KDE Plasma Dock](/data/attachment/album/201902/25/231631qilx0zicp2pve33f.jpg "KDE Plasma Dock")


Plasma 以其灵活性和可配置性出名，同时也是它的优势。如果你有常用的程序，你可以考虑将常用程序设置为 OS X 风格的 dock。你能够通过单击启动，而不必深入菜单或输入它们的名字。


### 8、为 Dolphin 添加文件树


![Plasma Dolphin 目录](/data/attachment/album/201902/25/231639i96fx79x79xz2kf9.jpg "Plasma Dolphin Directory")


通过目录树来浏览文件夹会更加简单。Dolphin 作为 Plasma 的默认文件管理器，具有在文件夹窗口一侧，以树的形式展示目录列表的内置功能。


为了启用目录树，点击“控制”标签，然后“配置 Dolphin”、“显示模式”、“详细”，最后选择“可展开文件夹”。


记住这些仅仅是提示，不要强迫自己做阻碍自己的事情。你可能讨厌在 Dolphin 中使用文件树，你也可能从不使用 Pager，这都没关系。当然也可能会有你喜欢但是此处没列举出来的功能。选择对你有用处的，也就是说，这些技巧中总有一些能帮助你度过日常工作中的艰难时刻。

KDE’s Plasma is easily one of the most powerful desktop environments available for Linux. It’s highly configurable, and it looks pretty good, too. That doesn’t amount to a whole lot unless you can actually get things done.

You can easily configure Plasma and make use of a lot of its convenient and time-saving features to boost your productivity and have a desktop that empowers you, rather than getting in your way.

These tips aren’t in any particular order, so you don’t need to prioritize. Pick the ones that best fit your workflow.

## 1. Multimedia Controls

This isn’t so much of a tip as it is something that’s good to keep in mind. Plasma keeps multimedia controls everywhere. You don’t need to open your media player every time you need to pause, resume, or skip a song; you can mouse over the minimized window or even control it via the lock screen. There’s no need to scramble to log in to change a song or because you forgot to pause one.

## 2. KRunner

KRunner is an often under-appreciated feature of the Plasma desktop. Most people are used to digging through the application launcher menu to find the program that they’re looking to launch. That’s not necessary with KRunner.

To use KRunner, make sure that your focus is on the desktop itself. (Click on it instead of a window.) Then, start typing the name of the program that you want. KRunner will automatically drop down from the top of your screen with suggestions. Click or press Enter on the one you’re looking for. It’s much faster than remembering which category your program is under.

## 3. Jump Lists

Jump lists are a fairly recent addition to the Plasma desktop. They allow you to launch an application directly to a specific section or feature.

So if you have a launcher on a menu bar, you can right-click and get a list of places to jump to. Select where you want to go, and you’re off.

## 4. KDE Connect

[KDE Connect](https://www.maketecheasier.com/send-receive-sms-linux-kde-connect/) is a massive help if you have an Android phone. It connects the phone to your desktop so you can share things seamlessly between the devices.

With KDE Connect, you can see your [Android device’s notification](https://www.maketecheasier.com/android-notifications-ubuntu-kde-connect/) on your desktop in real time. It also enables you to send and receive text messages from Plasma without ever picking up your phone.

KDE Connect also lets you send files and share web pages between your phone and your computer. You can easily move from one device to the other without a lot of hassle or losing your train of thought.

## 5. Plasma Vaults

Plasma Vaults are another new addition to the Plasma desktop. They are KDE’s simple solution to encrypted files and folders. If you don’t work with encrypted files, this one won’t really save you any time. If you do, though, vaults are a much simpler approach.

Plasma Vaults let you create encrypted directories as a regular user without root and manage them from your task bar. You can mount and unmount the directories on the fly without the need for external programs or additional privileges.

## 6. Pager Widget

Configure your desktop with the pager widget. It allows you to easily access three additional workspaces for even more screen room.

Add the widget to your menu bar, and you can slide between multiple workspaces. These are all the size of your screen, so you gain multiple times the total screen space. That lets you lay out more windows without getting confused by a minimized mess or disorganization.

## 7. Create a Dock

Plasma is known for its flexibility and the room it allows for configuration. Use that to your advantage. If you have programs that you’re always using, consider setting up an OS X style dock with your most used applications. You’ll be able to get them with a single click rather than going through a menu or typing in their name.

## 8. Add a File Tree to Dolphin

It’s much easier to navigate folders in a directory tree. Dolphin, Plasma’s default file manager, has built-in functionality to display a directory listing in the form of a tree on the side of the folder window.

To enable the directory tree, click on the “Control” tab, then “Configure Dolphin,” “View Modes,” and “Details.” Finally, select “Expandable Folders.”

Remember that these tips are just tips. Don’t try to force yourself to do something that’s getting in your way. You may hate using file trees in Dolphin. You may never use Pager. That’s alright. There may even be something that you personally like that’s not listed here. Do what works for you. That said, at least a few of these should shave some serious time out of your work day.
