Bug ID: 515608
Summary: Kickoff's file find should show paths and more in all
its layouts
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.3.6
Reported In:
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff) widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
I often use Kickoff's find option to locate indexed files but, unlike Windows,
when you get a long list of identical filenames (say, many “info.txt”), it is
not possible to know which is which because you can’t see their location. This
seems to be the case only with the "Application Menu" launcher layout
alternative.
This is a major limitation that could be easily addressed with a tooltip, or by
displaying path/to/file next to, or below the filename. Being able to copy the
path+filename and to see Properties for the file through the right-click menu
would be nice too.
KRunner is not a good alternative as it doesn’t show the number of files and
folders Kickoff shows in its scrollable window. Instead, it shows all sorts of
other information defined by the plugins. And it takes pressing two keys (I
only press the Super key here for Kickoff).
An additional idea might be being able to force KRunner to show only
files/folders in a long list, possibly by starting the query with an ‘f’. But
Kickoff with a right-click menu would still be better.
This suggestion is discussed in more detail here:
