Bug ID: 518422
Summary: KRunner executes action before it has fully matched
user input
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.6
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Krunner is a bit slow in matching what you type to actions it should perform.
Because it does not block activating the action until it has done the matching,
this results in frequent unwanted actions, when you use krunner with a
keyboard.
Example: You want to activate the sleek TODO manager. So you type:
ALT-F2 (get krunner)
sleek
Enter
And as a result your system goes to sleep.
This is because when you type sleek, krunner performs the matching letter by
letter. At "slee" the top match is "Power - sleep (suspend to RAM)". When you
press "Enter", sleek ignores the fact that it still has not even looked at the
"k" and happily puts your system to sleep.
If there are other keys "on flight" before "ENTER", sleek should **wait** to
process those before executing anything. It is dangerous to do otherwise.
Sleeping is a sufficiently innocuous thing, but far worse thing may happen in
other situations

present before 6.5. Note that this is not issue

there are no other keys in flight before the ENTER, but it is not if there
are!)
