KConfig Browser is a graphical application which allows you to modify KDE configuration files found in ~/.config

Why

I created this little tool in order to learn Qt (in Python for now, because at the moment I don't know C++)

I kinda envied that GNOME people had the graphical dconf-editor for GSettings and KDE didn't have any graphical tools for manually editing KConfig (at least none that I've heard of)

Even though it was written in a short time, it serves it's purpose of a graphical KConfig reader/editor.

How to install

You don't need to install it anywhere, just make sure you have the PyQt5 Python library installed and then you may run the kdeconf.py Python file

How to use

Select a configuration file from the top left combobox, then select a group from the left listbox. Then, you'll see a list of keys in the right listbox. Select a key and the value will appear at bottom text input box. After changing the value, you need to click the "Save" button to save the changes. You may also click "Reload" and the text input value will be updated according to the config file contents.

Refactoring the project structure.
I have now introduced a project folder that contains only the project code and assets, not the git stuff, requirements, license, etc. This makes it easier to install later.

I have also split the main script into a

kdeconf - the bootloader that launches the main script and serves as the entry point.

ui file - contains all of the static ui elements, now in layouts for easier responsive design.

ui generated py file - The ui file converted into python code as an optimization, and to actually provide type hints and code completion.

driver file - this file subclasses the auto-generated python code so that you don't actually modify the auto-generated file itself (so that you can re-generate it later without losing anything). It also connects all the signals to the slots, thereby handling the control flow.

config parser - A helper file that handles the KDE config backend.

helper - generic helper module. Kinda short, but a start for more expansion.

I also added a

requirements.txt - useful for others.

gitignore template for python - keeps the repo clean.

notes - useful for setting up the ui converter macros.

And fixed a few typos.

Bug: Add support for files with keys that do not have equal signs
For example, the khotkeysrc configuration file has keys that do not have equal signs. Instead, they use the following format:

KEY[$d]

At the moment of writing this, I have no idea what value those keys are supposed to hold. If someone knows something on this matter, please comment under this issue.
bug help wanted
