Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources ability to run command with environment settings on-fly Run konsole, and execute then kile and then LANG=en_US kile Now, you can do the first in krunner but not the second. Please add the ability to change environment settings on-fly as shown in the latter case.
Indeed, krunner tries to be too intelligent! :-) I have the same issue pe with a command like DISPLAY=:0 wmaker (useful for Xephyr/Xnest) Suggestion: if the first word is not a command, run it anyway, but return an error (dialog box) if the program dies in the first 1 or 2 seconds with a non-0 exit status. [14:10] frank@limoen:~$ DISPLAY=:0 xterm ; echo $? 0 [14:10] frank@limoen:~$ DISPLAY=:0 xtderm ; echo $? No command 'xtderm' found, did you mean: Command 'xterm' from package 'xterm' (main) xtderm: command not found 127
"if the first word is not a command, run it anyway" that would be broken in 99% of queries, so that isn't an option. i'll have to do some testing, not even sure this will work properly without running it through a terminal, but will try to come up with a fix for 4.5
