    Sadly didn’t fix the one bug that’s driven me crazy since switching…

    The start menu and krunner needs to stop launching programs before I’m done typing.

    Hit start, type “kwr,” hit enter. Konsole opens.

    Why? Because when I typed “K,” it autocompleted to Konsole. And instead of waiting to resolve the remaining characters, it just launches whatever is selected.

    Really tired of accidentally opening games when I’m already playing a game

      Why would it ever launch programs before a user has finished specifying? How would one ever run anything other than calculator?

        Because - and I’m not defending this behavior - it launches the highlighted program as if you were navigating with arrows

          Oh man that’s also terrible. Or a great way to launch 15 programs just by swiping through a list.

            It’s just the one since the start menu/krunner disappear after launching something.

            I just have to wait like 200ms but…I use AutoCAD for a living. I type commands and hit enter thousands of times a day. Really hard habit to break and frankly, I don’t want to break it!

              So you could rename all your programs to start with a specific letter to call it and bypass this bug, but you’re limited to 26 or so (depending on your language settings and keyboard) unique programs.
