A few more examples what you can access with krunner quickly and easily:
- open a sub-folder of your home (for example ~/pics) by typing in pics
- open a remote folder via sftp, by typing in sftp://server/folder
- open a bookmark by typing (a part of) the name you assigned to it (where 
  bookmark can be any kind of URL - http, ftp, sftp, ...)
- know that 5 gallons equal 18.9 litres by typing 5gal
and much more

So, in essence, krunner gives you access to anything without having to 
navigate menus or even touch the mouse. I love it.

Patrick.
