I think the title describes it pretty well. Please do not add the "Capture xxx - Spectacle" shortcuts to my K-Menu. They interfere with what I'm actually searching for, and are completely useless. It's pure noise. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the k-menu 2. E.g. if you have Caprine installed type "Cap" to find it OBSERVED RESULT 4 top entries are Capture XXX - Spectacle EXPECTED RESULT Caprine and other apps beginning with Cap - hint! I'm in my application menu, I'm looking for applications! SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 19.10
That's because the menu automatically list in every action defined in an applications .desktop file in the search results. They are not part of the menu themselves. You should see similar results if you search for "New". I don't know if kickoff can be configured to not list those in the search result
Fwiw there's a patch to fix the scoring: https://phabricator.kde.org/D27886

Git commit 18422ededcc9ec8f3e0b80e75228fe7b4a487829 by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 09/03/2020 at 08:19. Pushed by broulik into branch 'Plasma/5.18'. Demote jump list actions to PossibleMatches HelperMatch type was used to identify them in run but this also causes them to score way higher than anything else (except ExactMatch).
