Il lanciatore di applicazioni Kickoff

Kickoff è il lanciatore di applicazioni predefinito del desktop Plasma. Nella configurazione predefinita si trova in basso tutto a sinistra nel pannello. Oltre al suo scopo principale (fornire accesso alle tue applicazioni) ti dà accesso ad alcune risorse sul tuo computer, a documenti che hai recentemente utilizzato ed opzioni per chiudere la tua sessione di KDE.

Kickoff può essere sostituito con un lanciatore di applicazioni più tradizionale basato su menu facendo clic destro sull'icona del menu e selezionando Passa al menu classico. Naturalmente se lo fai perdi il vantaggio della casella di ricerca di Kickoff.

Aprire Kickoff

Per aprire Kickoff semplicemente fai clic sulla sua icona che di solito si trova tutta a sinistra nel pannello in basso nel tuo ambiente di lavoro Plasma. In Kickoff puoi vedere in alto il campo di ricerca, in basso cinque schede: Preferiti, Applicazioni, Computer, Recenti ed Esci. In mezzo viene mostrato il contenuto della scheda selezionata. Puoi scorrere il contenuto se è in parte nascosto. Puoi anche ridimensionare Kickoff: fai clic sull'angolo in alto a destra di Kickoff con il puntatore del mouse (diventa una doppia freccia in diagonale) e trascina Kickoff alla dimensione desiderata.

La scheda Preferiti

Add to Favorites Tab
Delete this favorite
Drag to sort favorites via mouse


This tab offers you access to some of the most used applications. Of course you can adjust this selection to your needs. Drag an entry around and drop it at another place in the list to sort it your way. Right clicking an entry gives you even more options: you can Remove that entry, copy it to the panel or the desktop or Sort all entries alphabetically.


The Applications Tab


This tab gives you access to all installed applications, divided into several categories like Office or Internet. Click on a category to see what applications are available in that category. To return to the overview, click on the back button that occurs on the left of the application list. Right clicking on an application entry brings you some options for the entry: Copy to the Favorites tab, Panel or Desktop.


The Computer Tab


On the Computer tab you will find some links to system applications (like System Settings), your favorite places (configured via Dolphin), and available storage media. Again, right-clicking those entries will bring you some options to Copy them to the desktop or panel.


The Recently Used Tab

Your recently-used applications and documents are presented on this tab. Note that only applications launched via Kickoff are taken into account for this list. A right-click on an entry brings you the usual context menu with copy options and additional options to clear the recently used history.


The Leave Tab

This tab gives you several options to leave your KDE session or shutdown your computer.


Search Field

Search name
Search description

Instead of browsing through all the tabs and categories you can simply enter a search term. The search field has focus when opening the menu, so you can simply start typing. The search will not only match against applications names, but also against their description. So if you need a browser, but don't know the name of the installed browsers, simply type "browser" in the search field. This should result in a list of all available browsers.


Add to Desktop and Panel

Alternative Application Launchers

Besides Kickoff, other application launchers are available which may fit your needs better. See the page Plasma application launchers for more details.
