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.

Champ de recherche
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.
