Description Dennis Schridde 2013-01-15 14:27:11 UTC
Currently only the kill runner allows to specify a keyword / prefix. It would be nice if this could become a general concept, so that I could define a keyword for *each* runner. I.e. a generic KRunner config dialogue, where I would see the list of runners and their keywords - without each runner having to implement the prefix support themselves.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Dennis Schridde 2013-01-15 14:41:55 UTC
This is useful, because:
* Sometimes I want to execute a command, but other runners "spam" the list with suggestions that do not apply. So I need to switch to the mouse to select the correct result (which may well be a few items down the list).
* Sometimes I might want to execute a command in a terminal (with the shell runner - cf. bug #222610 comment #9) and sometimes I might want to just execute, discarding its console output.
Comment 2 Dennis Schridde 2013-01-15 14:55:58 UTC
Bugs that would be solved by such a feature: bug #173236, bug #301658.
Bug #215349 would also benefit from this - support for custom keywords is part of the request.

I also have sth. similar in mind, maybe we can solve this using the single runner mode. This way we don't have to implement something for each runner.

It is planned to port the runners KCM to QML, then we should integrate this. I am keeping this in mind!
Comment 6 Rind 2021-03-17 13:32:54 UTC
allowing a prefix to the CLI plugin would be enough to run the aliases from whatever shell is active, right? so that would be enough to solve, at least partially, the other similar bugs
Comment 7 Alexander Lohnau 2021-03-17 13:39:57 UTC
There is currently the single runner mode, you can trigger that using the following command for the bookmarks runner:

>qdbus org.kde.krunner /App org.kde.krunner.App.displaySingleRunner bookmarks

Other runners are for example windows, services (Applications & Systemsettings) and baloosearch.
