Committed on 13/05/2026 at 12:58. Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. applets/kickoff: better handling of fast return presses A common complaint about our launcher widgets is that they do not support the usage pattern of fast typing and immediate return to yolo-launch an app, without confirming whether the query's top result is actually what the user intended. If a user attempts this, what they generally get is either nothing (if there are no results yet) or the top match of whatever query reported last (typically a partial version of the current query), which is often not what the user intended to launch. Instead, we queue enter presses, and launch only as soon as any of the following conditions hold (including immediately, if applicable): - no query is running/the running query finishes - the current best match contains the queries string in its text - the user presses return/enter again - 750 ms have passed and there are query results (if there are not, check again in another 750ms) We also need to tweak a few other places to work: The ListView only handles key presses when it has contents, so we need to also allow Return/Enter without them (so that presses while still searching are not lost), and we need to update a property while its StackView status is still activating, rather than only when it's activated, or very fast return presses will still go to the regular view, rather than the search view.

However Plasma 6.4.5 no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE; active versions are 6.6 or newer. Please upgrade to an active version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one. If you need help with Plasma 6.4.5, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE. If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
