Description Rufus 2008-08-28 09:48:47 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

When my hands are off the keyboard already I'd like to navigate through kickoff all the way to my desired application by using my mouse only. However, with most applications I can't figure out what sub-sub-menu they're in. So I have to reach for the keyboard and Search for the application. If the Search Results showed the menu->sub-menu->sub-sub-menu path, the next time I want to launch the application I could get there with the mouse only.

Still not possible in KDE SC 4.4.
Comment 3 Rufus Dee 2011-08-13 13:36:24 UTC 
Now that the bradcrumbs navigation was introduced to kickoff anyways, wouldn't it be easy to take care of this bug?

Hello!

This feature request was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this feature request is already implemented in Plasma 5, or is no longer applicable.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this feature request. If the requested feature is still desired but not implemented in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!

Nate Graham
