Description Rohde Fischer 2020-03-06 09:28:06 UTC 
I think the title describes it pretty well. Please do not add the "Capture xxx - Spectacle" shortcuts to my K-Menu. They interfere with what I'm actually searching for, and are completely useless. It's pure noise.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the k-menu
2. E.g. if you have Caprine installed type "Cap" to find it

OBSERVED RESULT
4 top entries are Capture XXX - Spectacle

EXPECTED RESULT
Caprine and other apps beginning with Cap - hint! I'm in my application menu, I'm looking for applications!


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
Kubuntu 19.10

That's because the menu automatically list in every action defined in an applications .desktop file in the search results. They are not part of the menu themselves. You should see similar results if you search for "New". I don't know if kickoff can be configured to not list those in the search result

Fwiw there's a patch to fix the scoring: https://phabricator.kde.org/D27886

Oh my, you are right, what a nasty "feature". Why would anyone do that :( Sorry for the noise on this one then.

Demote jump list actions to PossibleMatches

HelperMatch type was used to identify them in run but this also causes them to score way higher than anything else (except ExactMatch).
