Hallo! Got a hold of okular-dev but haven't kenn'd on to where
okular or main.cpp might be hiding (kdeoffice?)

I'm thinking I'd like to use a better reader than evince in my handy
debian distro (and being deferential to whoever gives the TV news crews
recipes for anti-CoV-19 herbal chicken noodle soup. It could happen.)
Thanks for getting okular up there, checking checks, making promise-
keeping versions for bsd, etc. All service to poplar.lib and kdeoffice?
llvm okular.rust +robot_maid_good +dragon_tags +fetish_running_shoes

I just saw a thread on latency since pre-curses apps (it's not 30ms
anymore, despite progress on the semiconductors side; definitely not
UTF-8 to blame) and want very much
to be taking notes in okular (or in vim org mode, but cross-ref'd to be
visible in okular so that notes compile into the pdf.) Likewise of
course for local cross-reference and such to work even more effusively
than ...well, Springer Online's, and for graphics analysis and maps
to offer further easy cross-reference (if not already present; esp. in
a fetch::LaTeX console,) give or take TrendMD adtech infection^w taint^w
partnership options.
  Worse, I want to offer it in low-RAM environments like RasPi3s and
grade school student VMs.

Should I wait 3 seconds and expect larger VMs/DDR3, or rather work with
common translation tools (which don't come immed. to mind..) and work
up a pull request (and icon...) in kdevelop that will offer gtk-okular
for debian (and other systemd-hobbling) fans?
  For that matter, would I even get 200MB for not loading the kdelibs
required (and pivoting to gtk with reasonable skill,) or would the
presence of excellent kde clipboard, note, cross-referencing/citation
and working database apps just be cheating most use-cases?

(Or is KDE and tmux gesture input and control really a better thing
to consider?)  

Please help form best query, or to whack submitter (me) with a
kde-forums response I missed!
