Description Markus 2017-02-19 11:07:49 UTC

Lets start the fictional app "abc": Alt+F2 "abc" enter. Works as expected.
Now I want to start another app "ab": Alt+F2 "ab" enter. Now abc starts as it is autocompleted.

That happens also, when "ab" is in history (was called before abc).

A 100% match in history or for a program/... should always be the first choice.

Any option to disable autocompletion?

Comment 4 Subramaniyam Raizada 2019-10-09 20:13:48 UTC

Still an issue in plasma-workspace 5.16.90. Line 365 here[0] currently asks to make the history size configurable; allowing the user to set the max history size to 0 would effectively disable autocompletion of past entries and that would be a solution for this issue.
