Description Martin Koller 2009-07-17 14:52:03 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.96)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

In KDE3 Alt-F2 window I could simply show a man page in konqueror by typing "#command" or showing an info page via "##command"
krunner does no longer support this very convenient shortcuts.

P.S.:I know it's arguable if this is a bug or a wish ... as with all regressions to KDE3 ...
Comment 1 Anselmo L. S. Melo (anselmolsm) 2009-10-30 05:31:12 UTC 
The syntax has changed:
#command -> help:command
##command -> info:command

But maybe we could provide the same syntax of KDE3.
Comment 2 Alain BAECKEROOT 2009-11-15 11:03:45 UTC 
This was very useful feature.
(btw KDE 4.3.2 is (so far) much less usable than 3.5 :( )
