cwo <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary|Pressing the space bar on |Activating "Show Usage |"Show Usage Help" button |Help"/ seaching for "?" |sets textbox contents to |should not show |"?" , then clears it |non-help-runner results CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from cwo <[email protected]> --- The behavior of the button is correct, the behavior of krunner is not. ? in the search field activates the help runner. It should show a list of topics it can give help on, and selecting them should give more info on how to use this runner (possibly with sub-options, which are in turn ?+key word queries like "?recent"). But other runners can also respond to ?, and thus crowd out the help runner. Often, you might get just a single help runner result, and the rest is Browser tabs and the like. I suspect this worked in the past because most runners had a character length restriction (to prevent them from giving low-quality results), but we kept getting complaints that making the search term longer should not lead to getting more results, so most limits were removed. Now ? can give a lot of results (every web site in your history with ? in the title if you have the browser history runner enabled, for example), which makes it pretty terrible as a help interface. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
