Developing KRunner

KRunner’s source code is split amongst many repos, so I figured I’d jot down their locations here.

• frameworks/krunner: declares the krunner API
• plasma/plasma-workspace /krunner: Logic for displaying the Alt+Space popup, it loads a QML view from the Plasma Global Theme (aka lookandfeel).
• plasma/plasma-workspace /lookandfeel/contents/runcommand/RunCommand.qml: The QML view loaded for the Alt+Space popup.
• RunCommand.qml uses plasma/milou’s lib/qml files.
• The plasma/milou repo also contains a Plasma Widget. The default Application Launcher widgets also use KRunner.
• The Application Launcher widgets in plasma-desktop use a Kicker.RunnerModel which can be found in plasma-desktop.
  • Application Launcher’s Kicker.RunnerModel use
  • Application Menu/Dashboard’s Kicker.RunnerModel use
  • runnermodel.h + runnermodel.cpp
