Kickoff 程序启动器

Kickoff是Plasma桌面默认的应用程序启动器。默认配置下它位于底端面板的最左端。除了打开应用程序外，它还可以打开电脑上的一些位置、你最近使用过的文档以及结束KDE会话的选项。

Kickoff 可以轻易的切换到传统的程序菜单模式，右键菜单图标，选择切换经典菜单风格。当然，如果你那样做的话就没法享受到 Kickoff 的搜索框。

打开 Kickoff

要打开 Kickoff，只需轻点Plasma桌面右下角（通常情况下是此位置）的按钮。在 Kickoff 的顶部你会看见搜索框，在底部你会看见五个选项卡: 收藏夹，应用程序，计算机，最近使用以及离开。你所选的选项卡的内容会在中间显示。被隐藏的内容通过滚动菜单即可显示。你也可以调整 Kickoff 的大小：用你的鼠标指针抓住 Kickoff 的右上角（光标会变为双箭头光标）并移动来改变大小。

“收藏夹”选项卡

Add to Favorites Tab	Delete this favorite
Drag to sort favorites via mouse

此选项卡可以打开一些您最常用的应用程序。当然你也可以将其调整为你所需的应用程序。抓住一项并把它放到另外的位置来调整顺序。右键点击一项会提供更多的选项：你能删除这一项，添加到面板或者桌面也可按照字母顺序排列。

“应用程序“选项卡

This tab gives you access to all installed applications, divided into several categories like Office or Internet. Click on a category to see what applications are available in that category. To return to the overview, click on the back button that occurs on the left of the application list. Right clicking on an application entry brings you some options for the entry: Copy to the Favorites tab, Panel or Desktop.

“计算机”选项卡

On the Computer tab you will find some links to system applications (like System Settings), your favorite places (configured via Dolphin), and available storage media. Again, right-clicking those entries will bring you some options to Copy them to the desktop or panel.

The Recently Used Tab

Your recently-used applications and documents are presented on this tab. Note that only applications launched via Kickoff are taken into account for this list. A right-click on an entry brings you the usual context menu with copy options and additional options to clear the recently used history.

The Leave Tab

This tab gives you several options to leave your KDE session or shutdown your computer.

Search Field

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.

Add to Desktop and Panel

All program items and categories can be added to desktop and panel, right click and select Add to ...

Alternative Application Launchers

Besides Kickoff, other application launchers are available which may fit your needs better. See the page Plasma application launchers for more details.
