SUMMARY

KRunner Doesn't Show/Keep Command History Under Wayland

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login to Wayland session.
2. Run some commands with KRunner.
3. Type again to KRunner the same string.

OBSERVED RESULT

No history observed at KRunner under Wayland, it doesn't suggest you possible options based on the previous commands you executed with KRunner.

EXPECTED RESULT

KRunner should preserve the command history as it does under Xorg session.

Hmm, works for me on Wayland with git master.
Comment 2 Kai Uwe Broulik 2019-07-25 06:42:42 UTC 
Maybe it crashes at some point? I recall that killing krunner has it not save the history

>I recall that killing krunner has it not save the history
That was about the launch counts not being saved (fixed now). But the history has been saved after each session since forever.

Please check if the ~/.config/krunnerrc has a "history=<list of strings>" entry and if it is updated after running a command.

A wild guess would be that you started the query with a space, then the query is not saved. Just like in bash.
