@kde another feature forced really hard on users, with Konsole this time: the color preview

I can't remember when this landed in KDE as it just added to the list of "new KDE features" I tried to ignore while struggling to keep focus, but that list never ceases to expand 😬

moreover, the option to disable that color preview feature I don't need is burried deep: the only way to turn it off is by creating a new Konsole profile 🤦‍♂️

@Rustmilian @TimeWalker

Kate Color Preview plugin can be enabled/disabled without creating a profile, also it seems to have a different behaviour.

example from within a C/C++ file:

uint32_t blue = 0x0000ff;
const char* red = "#ff0000";
const char* color = "purple";

in Kate, only "#ff0000" triggers the color preview, neither blue, red, "purple" or 0x0000ff seem to trigger it

in Konsole all of those except 0x0000ff trigger the color preview

same color preview core, different rules maybe?

Lowercase also works.
