Hey guys, this is what I think 1. Having the shell capture input and forward it to KRunner when it comes up - because KRunner is too slow to come up and capture text on demand 2. Having KRunner in the background from the beginning - because KRunner is too slow on demand I say solution 1 is hackier than 2 and 1 doesn't even solve all the problems (like when invoking with alt+space). Yes, then there will more memory usage from the start (I see about 36M just checking in KSysGuard) but a worthwhile trade off for a better experience. KRunner is one of the best things in KDE.
