Bug ID: 414804
Summary: Krunner does not reliably find windows
Product: krunner
Version: 5.17.3
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: windows
Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de
Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Krunner is unable to locate windows half of the time. For example, there is no
way to find the Konsole Window by typing "Konsole" or "Terminal". If you type
"Discover" it won't open Discover - you have to type in the exact Window name
from the beginning - eg "Featur ..." if the name is "Featured -- Discover" (and
sometimes that won't work either).
All this is made worse by the fact that the results of the search do not appear
in an application-centric order, so when you type in the name of the window
you're more likely to open an new instance of the app (or not, for certain KDE
apps) or some file instead of the open window.
The long and short of is that it isn't possible to search for open windows with
Krunner.
