Bug ID: 427351
Summary: Show hints in KRunner as to how to use each module
Product: krunner
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de
Reporter: k...@callthecomputerdoctor.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I see that KRunner has some interesting modules, but it's always been unclear
to me how to use them.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings -> Search -> KRunner
2. Look at the modules, dig into them. Each item has an About icon to click on,
but doing so doesn't add any explanation of how I interface with it or what the
module does.
OBSERVED RESULT
For example, the only hint of how to use the Spell Checker plugin is that I
have to click on the Configure gear icon next to its name and figure out that
it wants me to type "spell ___" to use it. The usage is buried in
configuration. But not all modules have configuration.
Or to use the Unit Converter, which is super handy, there is no education of
what I have to type or what are its abilities.
I have Skrooge installed and it installs its own KRunner module. But its About
dialog doesn't tell me how to use it. Frustrating.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be some kind of clear interface that educates me on how to trigger
the plugin (if it needs explicit triggering), what kind of inputs its looking
for, or add a more fleshed out explanation of its abilities.
For example, with the Unit Converter, to let me know I can type "2kg" or "2cm"
or ...
