<div>Currently, when we type something in, krunner displays the results as it finds it, without giving a feedback of whether it is searching or just didn't find anything. It also does not separate the results into its different categories and shows some irrelevant results.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My idea is to give the user a better feedback of what's happening, telling them that krunner is searching or that it didn't find anything about those terms. Also, the results will be separated into different categories, say, programs, files and folders, Nepomuk tags, etc., giving the user the ability of choosing which one of these categories they want to prefer or defer and which one of these will contain the default action.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also intend to make it possible for the user to navigate through the results using the arrow keys, instead of tabbing, and to show a scrollbar instead of an arrow when there's a lot of results (or maybe a "More" button), also shrinking the less relevant results.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is this a good SoK idea? Is it too little?</div><div><br></div><div>I also thought of a simpler K menu that can run runners in its search, letting you put the results in the favorites just by dragging.</div>
