Description:

Plasma applet, which can run typed command :)

I know about one bug in plasma(maybe? if you know, how patch it, please contact me :) ) - if Runner is inserted on panel, it has problems with focus and width. On desktop is all right :D

Sorry for my english, i know it's ugly ;)

TODO:
- replace LineEdit by ComboBox with commands history
- add support for arrow keys on keyboard - up and down (history)
- allow to enter WWW adress without type "http://"

I like this idea but (always a but) the text typed in is the same colour as the background; in other words, I see nothing I type.

I have the same problem... haven't figured out yet how to fix it

We definitely need such plasmoid. I would suggest some improvements:
- Make the background color of the command line the system-wide input line background color. Now, when it is the same as the surroundings, on the panel I don't know where to click as no border appears.
- Make the width configurable. This not only matters on the panel (where it uses all the available space, so it uses half of the available space if there is a taskbar) but also on the desktop, where resizing with the plasmoid handle also modifies the height which is pointless. (The dictionary plasmoid does this well.)

Nice plasmoid but what's the use of it? Why not use KRunner?

Becouse KRunner is too big for panel.

Good work! This should definately go into into kdebase! I was really missing this until now..

maybe ask aaron aseigo about this on the panel-devel mailinglist

Well, if that is to happen, you'd likely want to do something about the name (or the featureset) as, unless i'm much mistaken, this isn't actually a mini-KRunner... :) You know the searchy-contexty-monster-launcher thing in KDE4 :)

Who said that this plasmoid won't be able to use KRunner runners or something like that? This is very simply first version made after 1 hour: I think it's usable, few people too, so I am happy for that :) But it's always possible to make it better :)

That is *exactly* the right answer, well done! ;) i would suggest dropping by the plasma IRC channel on Freenode and talk your options over with the people there - as i understand it, you should find it extremely easy to implement krunner support into this :)

When I try to compile it, i get this error:

This is on openSUSE 10.3 with KDE 4.0.1, Qt 4.3.3 an GCC 4.2.1

Oh, I think I use property from trunk KDE 4.1 :D

At this moment please comment this line in plasma-runner.cpp:

Line 20:
setAspectRatioMode(Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio); // thanks to tasks plasmoid programmers

In next version I will remove it or I will make two versions - for KDE 4.0 and 4.1 :)

I think I'm tired: it is line 16, not 20..

Thing that I really missed!

But unfortunatly
I got cmake errors, but KDE from source compiles fine.

$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4/
CMake Error: ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in /home/mihael/.kde4/share/apps;/usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/apps
-- Configuring done

I think it's problem with cmake. Try remove CMakeCache.txt file - I have this problem few times with compiling KDE from trunk.

I found it and it works.
So, now you can find my packages for openSUSE 10.2 and newer under
http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&p=1&q=kde4-plasmoid-runner
