Description slartibart70 2016-05-02 09:32:31 UTC

Please re-enable the 'run command / Alt-F2' window to be either 'top of screen' or 'floating'.
Top of screen is nice, but i (maybe others) prefer different positioning.
Any chance to have this kde4-feature back?


Reproducible: Always

The feature per se still exists but it's not exposed to the UI and not really tested, if you add FreeFloating=true to your ~/.config/krunnerrc (I think, I would have to look up the exact config key) it should show up in the middle of the screen.

Thanks for the info!
I tried - and it works well. I haven't found any problems yet. 
Can you share some of the reasons why this feature is disabled by default?

Comment 3 slartibart70 2017-02-12 08:51:27 UTC

any updates to this?
Still no option to configure in plasma 5.8

it is much more important to bring back the down-arrow.

it was a crime to do that.

This feature is back :-).
