Bug 211110

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    I Don't Know

Currently (KDE 4.2.1), krunner (I use lancelot, but I think it applies to default krunner too) is only able to autocomplete items that belong to menu.

Some time ago, I noted that Gnome was able to autocomplete paths from the runner app, such as Windows also does. It is very handy and I can't understand why I can't do that in KDE (3 and 4). Konqueror, Dolphin and some dialogs allow me to use auto-completion for writing paths (even konsole allows that using tabs) in a faster way. Why krunner doesn't allow that? It would be great to use auto-completion for opening some folder in dolphin after writing with auto-complete aid some path such as "/home/user/Documents/presentations". Or "c:documents and settingsuserMy Documentspresentations" when running on Windows (maybe it already does that on Windows, but I can't know since I don't own Windows).

Additionally, it would be good to be able to run commands in $PATH that are not included in the menus.
