Template:I18n/Language Navigation Bar
There are alternative "start menu" style Plasma application launchers in the KDE platform:
- Kickoff which is the current default application launcher - a click through menu
- Lancelot which reacts to hover, and can separate parts of the menu structure for use on the panel
- and others are in preparation.
Both Kickoff and Lancelot have search facilities. If you know the name of the application you don't need to find your way around the menu.
In addition to this KRunner, which replaces the "run command" dialogue, blurs the lines between desktop search, application launcher and command executor and provides a quick way to run applications or open documents.
