Dolphin commands - search

Sun Jan 20, 2013 1:38 pm
Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with terminal commands for dolphin? I'd like to know the command to go to the search option (as in what happens when you have dolphin open and you press ctrl-f).

I'd like to do this so I can setup a global keyboard shortcut to go straight to the find option in dolphin. Is this possible?

Cheers!

For kde apps, executing
Code: Select all
<appname> --help
in a terminal will show you the options supported by <appname>.

Hmm, doesn't seem to be an option to do this there. Guess that means it's not possible then?

You could also try exploring Dolphin's D-Bus interface, as some applications allow some of their functionality to be manipulated via D-Bus.
'qdbus' and 'qdbusviewer' are your friends if you want to pursue this avenue.
