Good work! Let me try it out myself and see how it feels.


krunner/view.cpp (line 330)
<https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/123888/#comment55386>

    It would be more efficient to use 'QList::removeOne`



lookandfeel/contents/runcommand/RunCommand.qml (line 103)
<https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/123888/#comment55387>

    We need the cursor position to be updated for runners which change the query string. You can test this out with the calculator runner.
    
    Does this break something?
