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)

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. --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) --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?

P.S. Please use liquid threads, do not edit the page itself.--Yurchor 07:22, 15 August 2011 (BST)

-* I want it to be as quick as possible; animations should be possible to turn off

-* KRunner should learn which selections you use the most (see Quicksilver on the Mac), so if I type "em" and select "emacs", the prefix "em" and the selection "emacs" should both get an increased score in the sorting, and thus be higher in the list next time

-* Ability to change the internal keyboard shortcuts, I want TAB to do bash-like TAB-completion, not select the wrong entry (and C-n / C-p to move between search hits)
