Huge thanks to GitHub user Zren for the custom KConfig ConfigParser class

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 its purpose of a graphical KConfig reader/editor.

How to install

You don't need to install it anywhere, just make sure you have the PySide6 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.
