Description stephan.seitz 2025-12-03 14:03:43 UTC 
SUMMARY

I often find myself creating complicated commands. Sometimes I want to fix a mistake in a command or want to create a variant but kdeconnect_runcommand_config.qml provides no UI to edit or copy an existing command.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Request creating a command using the "Run Command" plugin.
2. Add a few commands with a long command line
3. Try to retrieve the text of an existing command to create a revised command

OBSERVED RESULT

Can't edit a command or get the command text

EXPECTED RESULT

It is a design decision which actions should be exposed. If there would be a "copy command" action that copies the command to the clipboard, I could easy add a new revised command.

runcommand: add actions for command editing

Currently, it is not possible to edit an already defined command
or to copy its command text. This MR adds a new action "Edit"
that opens an edit dialog that resembles the "Add Command" dialog.
