Bug ID: 491526
Summary: (Enhancement Request) Make Krunner launch in the
background on startup
Classification: Plasma
Product: krunner
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: thepixelb...@gmail.com
CC: alexander.loh...@gmx.de, natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: ---
Not really a bug but a suggestion for an enhancement.
Krunner on first usage takes significantly longer to start up upon the
activation being used as it takes time to start the krunner program. This
feature is meant to be a convenient "Quick search", and having to wait a few
seconds for it to run (Even longer on slower devices) takes away most of that
quick searchness. The MacOS spotlight search appears instantly. It also leads
to missed keypresses if something is typed while waiting for it to launch and
all of this led me to not wanting to use the feature even though I love it!!
My suggestion is very simple, make krunner daemon launch in the background on
device startup. This is already possible through setting up a startup service
for krunner, but I think that it would be helpful for this to be in default KDE
because it would just make the KDE experience so much more seamless, smooth and
quick.
