Plasma/Kickoff
Le lanceur d'applications Kickoff
Kickoff est le lanceur d'applications par défaut du bureau Plasma. Dans la configuration par défaut il se trouve dans le panneau à gauche en bas. A côté de son utilisation principale (fournissant l'accès à vos applications) il vous permet d'accéder à certains emplacements de votre ordinateur, au documents que vous avez récemment utilisés, et aux options pour terminer votre session KDE.
Kickoff can be changed to function like a more speedy, traditional menu-based application launchers by right-clicking on the menu icon and selecting . Of course, if you do that, you trade the "benefit" of Kickoff's search box for superior usability. KMenu also has a search box.

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.
