Bug ID: 435878
Summary: Krunner ignores accents/dead keys when launched from
the desktop
Product: krunner
Version: 5.21.4
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: alexander.loh...@gmx.de
Reporter: kde.milr...@8shield.net
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Some special keys do not activate krunner, so they are lost during the search
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the language to pt-br (maybe it happens with other languages too)
2. On the desktop, search for "ÁREA"
OBSERVED RESULT
The accent key will be ignored, and the text in krunner will just be "AREA".
This will give completely different results than expected.

ÁREA: https://i.imgur.com/qmhTmtS.png
EXPECTED RESULT
Maybe the search should be less "rigid" and ignore those accents? That is, show
the same result as "ÁREA" for "AREA".
Also: I saw that there are already some patches intended to add fuzzy search to
plasma, so maybe that would solve this?
Or allow these "dead keys" to activate krunner, since pressing them does not
display the program window
