Description Alex Dănilă 2009-06-06 01:40:36 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Krunner does not support a range of commands available on the system:

1.Aliases defined in .bashrc, example:
alias skype='/home/alex/programs/skype_static-2.0.0.72/skype'
This works in the console (and I even have autocomplete). I doesn't work at all in krunner.

2.Long names untyped before. Example:
guidance-power-manager
gnome-sound-recorder
I get no help in discovering these if I haven't typed them in before. Bash completion instead does help at tab.

The first point is a duplicate of bug 283738

The second point is similar (duplicate?) of bug 102132, depending on whether they are about commands or filesystem paths or both
