Version: (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages As a heavy user of the Alt-F2 command prompt, I'd like an easier way to open commands in Konsole. I suggest that the "Run In Terminal" option be used when the user Ctrl-Enters instead of plain Enter.
that's certainly an interesting idea. some implementation notes for anyone who decides to take this one on: it probably means altering SearchContext or SearchMatch to carry with it some information on action modifying events that runners can query for if they care to in exec(SearchContext*, SearchMatch*)
Created attachment 24135 [details] This patch adds the ability for runners to get what key additional to return was pressed from the SearchContext.
As this bug includes a patch, can this be added? Thanks!
not for 4.3, no. we can discuss the merits of the patch (i'm not sure the libplasma part is the best approach) for 4.4, however. Matej: please upload your patch to reviewboard.kde.org for review and discussion, and thanks for working on this. :)
I'm afraid I won't implement this particular feature as it's hardly discoverable. In Plasma 5.7, however, the command line runner will have a "Run in Terminal" button which is also reachable using the keyboard, ie. 1. Alt+F2 (or Alt+Space) 2. Type command eg. "vi" 3. Press tab to move the current selection from the main result to the "run in terminal" button 4. Press return -> vi now launches in a terminal
