Weeks 7 & 8: User Guide, Find Action, and Bug Fixes

Wait 5 sec.

With the main proposal items completed, I spent the last 2-3 weeks working on open issues in the KeepSecret tracker, fixing bugs and improving the overall experience.User Guide (!37)Added a minimal user handbook for KeepSecret in DocBook format — the standard format used by KDE applications. The guide covers the main features: wallets, managing entries, generating passwords, importing and exporting, and locking. It's accessible via the Help menu. Writing it also involved adding the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license to the repo, which triggered a kirigami-app-components 1.0.1 release (more on that below).Find Action (!39)Added the Find Action entry Ctrl+Alt+I to the global drawer. This opens the Actions Explorer dialog — a standard KDE dialog that lets users search through all available actions in the app by name. During testing, I discovered that kirigami-app-components 1.0.0 had a bug where FindAction wasn't working. Marco Martin fixed it and released 1.0.1.Close entry panel when switching wallets (!41)Fixed a UX bug in 3-column mode: when switching wallets, the entry panel from the previous wallet stayed open. The fix was a single line — calling App.secretItem.close() when a wallet is clicked in the sidebar.Delete key shortcut (!43)Added the Delete key as the default keyboard shortcut for deleting secrets. Since there's already a confirmation dialog, binding Delete directly is safe.
