Configuration
Configuration files
~/.config/kuriikwsfilterrc
configuration file for:
system settings > Workspace > Shortcuts > Web shortcuts
Each web shortcut has its own configuration file here:
~/.local/share/kservices5/searchproviders/
See also:
~/.local/share/krunnerstatercKDE 4
~/.kde4/share/config/kuriikwsfilterrc
PreferredWebShortcuts=,..~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/searchproviders/
KDE 5
Upgrade from KDE4 to KDE5:
cp ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/searchproviders/* ~/.local/share/kservices5/searchproviders/
cp ~/.kde4/share/config/kuriikwsfilterrc ~/.config/Krunner
To be able to use shortcuts in krunner, the given shortcuts must be activated by setting 'preferred shortcut':
system settings > Workspace > Shortcuts > Web shortcuts > Check the 'preferred' box.
Default browser
When using the web shortcuts within krunner, the browser used is the one configured here:
K menu >> System settings >> Personalisation >> Applications >> Default applications >> Web browser.
It is however currently not possible to configure a specific browser or specific application for a given shortcut. The default browser setting affects all of the web shortcuts.
Alternatives
It is possible to create alternatives to KDE web shortcuts, using a series of simple bash scripts. TODO: provide example scripts.
