Description usrrgt 2008-10-27 12:50:47 UTC

Version:           4.1.2 (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

KDE must show Ksysguard main window with Ctrl+Esc combination keys.

If you press Ctrl+Esc, KDE starts the process table of Ksysguard.
That's OK, but the process table doesn't show CPU & memory usage, and you don't know how many MiB of memory are in use, and you need open Ksysguard manually to view it.

Moved to krunner (it controls what happens when CTRL+ESC is pressed)

Comment 2 Unknown 2009-02-22 23:08:57 UTC

I would also like to have the graphs shown when using Ctrl+Esc

This works with Plasma 5.

Comment 8 Aldoo 2016-06-16 08:17:16 UTC

Does it really work?

The process list you get with ctrl+esc still does not show total cpu and memory usage in Plasma 5.5.5 (Kubuntu 16.04 package) and I don't see any option to configure it.
Unless, of course, if you count remapping ctrl+esc to run ksysguard instead. But that would start yet another application, not the brightest idea in the kind of situation you are likely to be when you need to check system stress!

You are correct.

In KDE 4, the dialog which was displayed as part of Krunner, so viewing it was quite fast. This changed with Plasma 5, and now it is a separate executable which is launched when you press the hotkey.

I'm re-opening this as I clearly misunderstood it while closing it.

I too prefer it the old way. One should aim to improve things, not just renew. Factoring out stuff nilly-willy is sometimes not the brightest idea.

Comment 11 Christoph Cullmann 2024-09-23 21:01:12 UTC

ksysguard is no longer maintained, in Plasma 6 there is the Plasma system monitor for this task.

If your wish is still valid for the Plasma 6 replacement, please re-open and we can move this bug to the new product, thanks!
