List of alternative start menus

En Plasma hay distintos lanzadores de aplicaciones o "menús de inicio", entre los que se incluyen:

Error: No valid link was found at the end of line 3.	Kickoff El lanzador de aplicaciones por defecto que proporciona una interfaz para buscar y lanzar programas con el ratón. Kickoff tiene un sistema de búsqueda que te permite teclear el nombre de la aplicación o su descripción para encontrarlo.
Error: No valid link was found at the end of line 3.	Homerun Homerun es un lanzador de aplicaciones a pantalla completa con el contenido organizado en pestañas.
	Menú Clásico Disponible desde la interfaz para Añadir elementos gráficos o haciendo clic con el botón derecho en Kickoff y seleccionando "Cambiar al estilo de menús Clásico", este lanzador de aplicaciones proporciona un menú jerárquico clásico que es fácilmente personalizable para dar acceso a varios servicios y aplicaciones útiles.
	Excalibur Excalibur is a simple application launcher with two columns and a search bar on top and a session control (logout, restart, shutdown) on the bottom.
	Tiled Menu This is a "Windows 10"-style application menu that allows you to use tiles similar to the way it is done in Windows 10.
	KRunner También existe KRunner, que reemplaza al diálogo "Ejectuar orden", y es una mezcla entre un buscador de escritorio, un lanzador de aplicaciones y un ejecutor de órdenes, por lo que es una forma rápida para ejecutar aplicaciones o abrir documentos.

The KDE 4 application menus Lancelot^[1] and Homerun^[2] are now outdated. However, Lancelot can be replaced by the similar style Excalibur and Homerun can be replaced by the similar style Application Dashboard.

How to change the application launcher

To change the application launcher, right click on your current launcher and select Alternatives…

Next, choose the launcher you want to use.

Warning

Some settings of the currently used launcher might be reset to defaults when switching back

In case the desired application launcher is not in the list, you need to install it first. You may do that by using Discover or search for your launcher on the KDE Store. At the KDE Store you will also find several other application launchers to be tested.

How do I change which key opens the application launcher?

It's possible to do that in two ways: you may right click on your current launcher and select Configure Application Launcher…, selecting the tab Keyboard Shortcuts, clicking on the button and then typing the combination you want to use as keyboard shortcut.

You can also use System Settings → Shortcuts → Global Shortcuts → Plasma → Activate Application Launcher Widget.

And if you ever want to restore the default Meta key, you can use the combination Alt+F1, which serves this exact purpose.

I can't bind the Meta key to open the Application Launcher anymore!

This issue may occur because of the way KWin binds keys. Please refer to this section.
