Fedora Tools settings

This optional KDE Configuration Module lists tools published in the configured fedora-tools RPM repository. It appears as Fedora Tools in Plasma System Settings and can also be opened directly:

kcmshell6 kcm_fedora_tools

Packages advertise themselves with the RPM capability fedora-tools-tool. The module uses DNF's repository metadata for discovery and delegates package installation to a narrowly scoped KAuth helper. The helper accepts only valid package names that independently resolve to that capability in the fedora-tools repository.

Installed tools can also be configured or removed from the module. Package operations run one at a time; other actions remain disabled until DNF finishes. The module currently configures task-group shortcut behavior, touchpad hold-tap timing and output, and the experimental fingerprint workaround.

Installing this module does not install or activate any other tool. Tools remain usable without the module.

The fingerprint-workaround page can enable the tested build, select a locally built RPM, allow an intentional version change, and restore Fedora's official KScreenLocker package. These operations require administrator authentication.
