The search finds applications, not menu entries. (Granted, this is a bit pedantic) Just some thoughts: I understand that view point from a programmer perspective. However, the most common use case of the KMenuEditor for me is to assign shortcuts to applications. The "search and edit" feature does make the access to the application settings a lot easier than the manual search in KMenuEditor. So making it possible to assign shortcuts would give me a productivity improvement. Another thought: In general, the shortcuts are also not Kickoff or <some Launcher> specific. Thus, it would also make sense to be able to assign shortcuts in any other situation, when dealing with applications. *** Bug 430091 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have played with the thought/discussed a bit with Kai that we could add a context menu like entry as an action to the results. Like the one you get when when making a screenshot with spectacle. Created attachment 134792 [details]
This menu ;)
To fully understand your proposal, I have some questions: - Where does this menu appear? In the search result of Kickoff? In Krunner? - What is the content displayed there? Do I get to the old "Edit Applications" Dialog, to the KMenuEditor, something new, or both? - Isn't this the same to the classical context menu in kickoff? Why do we need a new context-menu-like thing here? Are we are mixing up krunner and kickoff here or are they the same from some technical viewpoint? It Would be nice to assign shortcuts to the application in both situations (searching a application through Kickoff or Krunner), but I feel a bit like my original Bug is somehow different to the duplicate. Original Bug title was "Application Properties Dialog from Kickoff misses option to assign a shortcut". The duplicate tries to find the KMenuEditor at all in Krunner, or am I wrong? KMenuEditor is accessible through krunner after this commit https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kmenuedit/-/merge_requests/5 Yep! Effectively fixed now. |
