This should move into a button, which can conveniently go right next to the combo, and then the combo changed to not install on indexChanged. Also, it would make sense to add an action andshortcut for installation to the toolbar above.

I agree. I will update the diff tomorrow with the new button if we all agree with the new button.

I guess it would be a good idea to add an action in the toolbar. What do you think?

>Also, it would make sense to add an action andshortcut for installation to the toolbar above.
Which shortcut do you want?

I would prefer to use the plasmapkg and not cmake.
Everyone is using plasmapkg and it is safer (from the POV of a future bug in cmake) due to the fact the more developers use it.
