Yep, this could go into KIO for sharing between file managers.

I'm not sure how/where though; probably KRun. But the real question is whether the config should be shared between apps or not.
It's easier to code, but it might be better to let each app handle the configuration part of it, otherwise we have more weird "shared settings which don't belong in any app's KCM because it's unexpected that they affect all apps", right?


Well, one solution is using KGlobal::config() (KSharedConfig::openConfig in KF5) in KRun and letting apps write to that.

    Why by file content and not the more general findByFile, which also takes extensions into account? Users generally name things properly, better trust them.

When the user clicks on an executable file, a [dialog](https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/media/uploaded/files/2014/09/12/0fa53887-666f-4121-9ec6-9f323d633d03__dialog.png) pops up which contains options to either open it or execute it. Clicking on execute runs the program in the background (dolphin's current behaviour).

The program can either be executed in the background or inside the embedded konsole or in an external terminal.
