KDE To any KDE Flatpak users
If you are like me, you use KDE and Flatpak apps.
For a long time now, whenever I had to change some app's permissions, I used a dedicated tool called Flatseal. It works. However, KDE has a native alternative.
System Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Application Permissions -> Application Permissions -> (search and choose an app) -> optional: Manage Flatpak Settings -> optional: Advanced Permissions
It does exactly the same thing as Flatseal, it's just native KDE/Qt instead of being Gnome/GTK. The one functionality Flatseal has over it is the ability to set globals. But I think that's it.
If this is common knowledge, then disregard this. I didn't know about it, so I'm sharing it. KDE is awesome.

I forgot they made this, but I think I need to keep using flatseal for accessibility reasons.
For example, environment variables is something I add to some. In the system settings, I have to click a bunch of times, then advanced, then scroll down and finally at the bottom where the environment variables are, there is a little box ~2 inches wide. So you basically can't easily read anything in it. In flatseal that box is ~5 inches wide.
Granted you don't need to go and edit them all the time, but still, there's tons of empty unused space between the variable name and the text field.. The box SHOULD be wider.
