I regularly use a few files with Kate. I can use Krunner to launch each by typing "kate 'filename'" (only single quotes actually entered to allow for spaces in file names). Krunner remembers file names recently used, and because my most common ones begin with different letters, I can launch them by typing, for example, "kate 'f" and then tapping the End and Enter keys on the keyboard. If other files begin the same way, it may require a few more letters of the file name, but it isn't necessary to type out the whole file name. My files are not all in the same folder, either. --[[User:Algotruneman|Algot Runeman]] 17:40, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Have the methods of Krunner changed?
Experimenting with the unit conversion process in KDE 4.7 Kubuntu, I wasn't able to reproduce the examples. To convert feet to meters worked (= 6 feet) or (= 6 feet/meter) or (= 6 feet/yard) --[[User:Algotruneman|Algot Runeman]] 18:11, August 2011 (UTC)
Works like a charm in KDE 4.6.3 (Mageia). Kubuntu 11.10 Live DVD shows the same behavior as you've mentioned. libkunitconversion was not changed this cycle, thus the problem is in Runner itself. Can you report it on bugs.kde.org?

Is it possible to run Konqueror shortcuts from here, as in "gg:some search terms" or "https://www.somesecureserver.org/" ?

It is indeed. Try them - both work. I'll add that to the tutorial. I wonder how many other goodies you can discover? --annew 17:55, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
