Personally I don't want bookmarks, but I'd like to have files. Would be nice if we could check each, sort of - Extend search to [ ] files and folders [ ] bookmarks [ ] whatever the future holds instead. It seems to concatenate a string to config currently, so separate entries should not be too hard from a technical point of view, UX is a different thing. 1725009 1 notuxius 2018-01-26 17:18:20 +0000 Same wish but for Kickoff - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382760 1733368 2 nate 2018-02-23 21:51:27 +0000 Kicker and Kickoff use the same backend; marking this as a duplicate of Bug 382760. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 382760 *** 1733375 3 hein 2018-02-23 21:57:57 +0000 I don't agree with the duping. It's true they use the same backend and have equal abilities to use or not use runner plugins, but whether or not to do so is much more down to the respective UI. E.g. Kickoff uses a single linear list to show all results, Kicker uses a column for each runner. They scale differently. 1733376 4 nate 2018-02-23 22:05:27 +0000 OK, un-duping. Let's use this bug to track refining Kicker's UI to better support an arbitrary set of runners so it doesn't become comically wide, and we'll keep Bug 382760 to track enabling/exposing the feature for both of them. Does that sound okay? 1733378 5 hein 2018-02-23 22:08:38 +0000 We can, I'm not sure we've made those decisions yet though :) 2429338 6 cwo.kde 2025-05-31 16:47:23 +0000 *** Bug 505061 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2430660 7 bug-janitor 2025-06-05 21:25:08 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/3046 2431326 8 cwo.kde 2025-06-09 16:58:42 +0000 Git commit 4fcf99d2601ee1367db4bf4d0b1d50a1c217b287 by Christoph Wolk. Committed on 09/06/2025 at 16:17. Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. applets/kicker: make runner columns horizontally scrollable When additional runners are enabled and there are hits from many of them, kicker's runner columns can easily overflow. This makes some of them inaccessible and looks as broken as it is (including potentially escaping the representation width). Instead we limit the maximum width by screen width, and make the whole thing horizontally scrollable if the content is larger than that. Keyboard navigation is adjusted to make the focused element visible, mouse use does not scroll by itself (as that is very disorienting).
