Hey friends!
Basically, here is my problem. I open the launcher menu (or KRunner) and start typing. Let’s say I type “firefox”, and hit Enter.
The launcher menu is very slow. It often opens “Files” instead, because that pops up after I type the first two letters.
Basically this means I need to wait a second for the launcher to finish searching, show me firefox, and then press enter.
This is frankly infuriating. Every other launcher on any other desktop or WM does not have this issue.
I have experienced this on two different machines running both Plasma 5 and 6, on different distros, both are beefy machines.
I’m sure there is a way to avoid it, does anybody know?
The new cache-to-RAM improvements in Plasma 6.1 will help a lot.
Then, for plasma search, you can configure the placement of the results in systemsettings. This is also Plasma 6 only afaik
I don’t actually care about speed to be honest, more the correctness. Should have phrased my question differently oops
