I concur. The history-list via downarrow is essential for good ergonomy of the K DE. We cannot force the mouse people to use the keyboard when it is not necessary. A huge loss in productivity ! Created attachment 105146 [details]

The new current version has no clickable down-arrow anymore, forces user to change to keyboard. Poor productivity, usability suffers !
it is so terrible. krunner is next to worthless without the arrow. an when will they stop enabling 1 billion plugin for krunner? it slows down the whole computer!! Just press the down arrow when KRunner is opened. I agree that there should be a visual cue for that. I'll see if I can put an arrow in there. It is not about the cue - it is about having your right hand to leave the mouse to hit the fucking arrow-key on the keyboard - then go back to mouse after a single fucking operation - or do it via a mouseclick in the fucking first place. huge difference , my friend. greetz out to KDE fox@ffoxfire.33mail.com, obscenity is unwarranted. Please be respectful of the people who are providing you with world-class software at no cost, and read https://www.kde.org/code-of-conduct/ As Kai mentioned, he's looking into a patch to re-add it, In fact, here is that patch: https://phabricator.kde.org/D10652 Git commit 8227e4e2b7f034166cbf5efb01e4e715028b4606 by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 19/02/2018 at 14:09. Pushed by broulik into branch 'master'. [Run Command] Add history drop down button Indicates that there's a "drop down" history similar to a ComboBox. The fact that you can press the down arrow to bring it up is hardly discoverable. FIXED-IN: 5.13.0 Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D10652 M +29 -0 lookandfeel/contents/runcommand/RunCommand.qml https://commits.kde.org/plasma-workspace/8227e4e2b7f034166cbf5efb01e4e715028b4606 By "a visual cue" I actually meant a button that you can click on, sorry for the confusion. wow, thannk You. can't wait to update my rolling release. the feature is not yet in KDE neon live CDROM. why not ? That would be a question for the Neon packagers. This ticket is fixed in Plasma 5.13.0, which is not released yet. If you want to test the change, try KDE neon dev unstable. (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #13) > This ticket is fixed in Plasma 5.13.0, which is not released yet. If you > want to test the change, try KDE neon dev unstable. Excactly as I predicted, in Plasma 5.14.3 , current in rolling rel. Manjaro, the down-arrow is gone away again. Back to the old bad unergonomic situation. (In reply to fire f. from comment #14) > (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #13) file:///usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/runcommand/RunCommand.qml these .qml files change over the vearous themes like "breeze" , "oxygen", etc. concerning history-list. Should they not be the same ? qmlviewer-qt4 .âRunCommand.qml to see a bunch of errors as usual. seemingly the current master/tree version works. I removed the .qml manually and put the master version in its place. relogin, verified Alt-F2 does nothing without the .qml , then copyied the right .qml, and the down-arrow was back like it should be. 6 changes were made, maybe some intermediate version is not well. this one works: https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-workspace.git/plain/lookandfeel/contents/runcommand/RunCommand.qml?id=8227e4e2b7f034166cbf5efb01e4e715028b4606 save in raw mode to /usr/.... to have the arrow back in place. assuming the distros will get a correct version anytime soon, the bug report may be closed again, I presume. Please recheck, though. Thx! I see the down arrow in Manjaro with Plasma 5.14.3. If it's still not working for you, it's not a problem in the code and you might want to investigate whether a local misconfiguration is at play or take it up with the distro maintainers. |
