Description Matthias Fuchs 2009-11-27 11:50:45 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The help feature that shows all available commands is too overloaded, so often you don't find the command -- BUG 208364 makes that even worse -- you were searching for.

So how to use the plugins should also be described in the information of each plugin (in the settings dialog).

[from bug 221376]

When clicking on the "?" help button in krunner, it shows sort of a list
containing some descriptive text.
That what is displayed, is effectively a list, which has more entries than are
visible, is not easily discoverable and it's look and feel is completely
different from any other list views in KDE applications.
The list not even has a scrollbar so I can easily scroll through its content.
(Instead there is a tiny, nearly non-discoverable arrow button overlapping the
displayed text which needs to be clicked to scroll)

Please provide a consistent user interface throughout all KDE applications for
the sake of usability.

Fixed in a horrible way.

We no longer provide the help menu with Plasma 5.
