They used to be separate (well kind of; Kickoff used to have a hardcoded list that you couldn't modify) but people wanted them to use the same plugins. Going back would be a regression for most people. I suppose in theory we could make a UI that lets you choose whether to share plugins for both, or apply separate sets of plugins for each one. Kinda seems like overkill to me, but I dunno, maybe. :) |
Created attachment 138267 [details] KRunner/App-launcher share same config settings SUMMARY KRunner and the app launcher (Kickoff) share the same configuration settings. This means that KRunner needs to have Applications checked in order for the app launcher to display Application results. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. in Krunner config, deselect Applications 2. in the app-launcher (meta key), type Firefox 3. expect to see no results; see attached screenshot OBSERVED RESULT no Firefox app is listed EXPECTED RESULT Config settings for the app launcher are distinct and separate from KRunner SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: Operating System: Kubuntu 21.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.11.0-7614-generic OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × Intel® Core™ i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz Memory: 31.2 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I use KRunner to switch between running apps/windows and browser tabs only. The app-launcher is for launching apps, opening folders, and everything else. I don't know that it makes sense to have two separate apps sharing the same config like this, and it boinks my workflow.
