Because at the same time plasma succeded kwin and dolphin konqueror, the kool naming scheme became optional. The snipping tool used to be Ksnapshot, which was at least obvious naming in what it did.
Does Merkuro mean something in another language? Like Krita means Crayon in…Swedish? Norwegian? Scandahoovian? And for some reason they didn’t call it Krayon?
I’m pretty sad that they named it KDE Connect instead of just Konnect
They have so many missed opportunities for things like that, like why isn’t spectacle called spektacle
My vote goes to Kpectacle

Man what does “snipping tool” even mean
I don’t like this word either, selective screenshot or sth…
Screenshot. With features thats it imo
snip /snĭp/
intransitive verb
How the heck is that related to screenshot
It’s usually combined with a rectangle/window selection, thus clipping a part of your screen into an image/clipboard.
People are just used to calling it that because the default screenshot tool in windows has been called the snipping tool for a long time.
I’m still mad that they renamed Kalendar to Merkuro
Also, Kalendar you can guess what it is… Merkuro? No idea
To be fair, its full name is actually Merkuro Calendar, but it’s fucking stupid

I couldn’t find anything
It would make more sense too since it can be used on almost everything, which I applaud (using it on macOS).
