Application Launcher - how do i get "sett"... to autocomplete to 'System Settings' instead of 'YAD Settings'?

[deviaze]

basically, I always get to kde/system settings by typing “sett” or similar but every time “YAD Settings” and “Printer Settings” pop up first. I typically don’t use the YAD settings nor Printer Settings apps and would rather them show up underneath the app i use very frequently. Changing sort order in Application Launcher settings only affects the categories (applications, files, settings) but not the list items themselves. Do I need to submit a feature request to KDE to prioritize FRU apps?

(i’m not worried about y’all seeing my account name dw)

Hey! Have you tried changing the settings in Krunner? (Moving Settings to have more priority?)

[deviaze]

I’ve tried that but it doesn’t do what I want. I typically want apps to show up before specific settings.

You may well need to submit a feature request then. If I set the priority as above, I get System Settings as the top option, which is small improvement. - by default it lands on the “Quick Settings” section of System Settings.

This is probably not what you want but why not place the apps you use the most in favorits ?

You can build the list as you go along.

Hello @deviaze ,
Feature request? Hhmm.
Right click onto Application Launcher > Edit Applications and delete the string bothers you.

[deviaze]

Thanks, I was hoping there was a different way around it but it changing those strings seemed to do the trick!

@deviaze ,
fuzzel
also may help you.
The more often you use an app the higher it will be in the menu history.
mkdir ~/.config/fuzzel
and put into fuzzel.ini

terminal=konsole -e  # Note: you cannot actually use environment variables here
# launch-prefix=<not set>

# lines=15
# width=30
# horizontal-pad=40
# vertical-pad=8
# inner-pad=0

# image-size-ratio=0.5

# line-height=<use font metrics>
# letter-spacing=0

# layer = top
# exit-on-keyboard-focus-loss = yes

Finally create a shortcut for fuzzel suits you (Super+Z)
