Description jeff.j.chapman 2005-09-11 03:46:48 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I use Alt-F2 to run commands a lot. However I have come to be annoyed by the auto-complete feature. For example when launching kat I type kat and then 'e' pops up in grey. I press enter and it completes it to kate. Er. This would really piss me off if i was new to KDE. To launch kat involves typing kate then pressing backspace. My suggestion is to have the right arrow(not ctrl-arrow) complete it when pressed and have enter only launch what is in black. So if I have KATe (BLACKgrey) and press enter I will get kat. Im assuming this is universal to everything that uses the autocomplete code. I do really like auto complete except for this.

actually the story is pretty interesting. What you see is SUSE's default and what you want is KDE's default. Just RMB in the line edit and change it to whatever you like. 

We tried to change the SUSE default back to KDE and got plenty of bug reports that said it's broken now. I guess, you have to accept that people new to kde don't use alt+f2 that often to always mix between kate and kat. But many old to KDE love to press x(term) and enter.
