Is there a way to disable the run dialog that appears on the desktop when you start typing characters on the keyboard. I'm working on a DOD system and we can't allow users to have access to this (even though the system will be locked-down).

A website I found suggested I modify the kdeglobals file in /home/user/.kde/share/config/ is this way.....

[KDE Action Restriction][$i]
run_command=false

After making this change I rebooted the system, but once logged in again, if I start typing on the desktop, the run dialog still appears.

Thanking you in advance for any advice you can provide.

KDE is running on Redhat 7.3 x86_64 workstation

Many actions in KDE applications and Plasma can be restricted through the Kiosk system by placing appropriate entries in the All KDE actions can be restricted through the Kiosk system by placing appropriate entries in the kdeglobals file in a system level directory, such as /etc/xdg/kdeglobals. We could disable the file open action by adding the following entry:

Code: Select all

[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]
action/file_open=false


Redhat 7.3

Your KDE/Plasma version ?


At here:

KDE Frameworks 5.37.0
KDE Plasma 5.10.5

Adding to the $HOME/.config/kdeglobals:

Code: Select all

[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]
run_command=false


Rebooting...

The Krunner is not starting with the Alt + F2 or when typing letters with the focus on the plasma desktop.

KDE 4.10

I've configured the kdeglobal file in these two locations/

/etc/xdg/kdeglobals
$HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]
run_command=false
action/run_command=false

It doesn't seem to matter. If I start typing on the desktop, the run dialog still appears.

I figured this out. Add the following config to the kdeglobals file located at /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/kdeglobals

[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]
run_command=false
action/run_command=false

logged out, and for good measure rebooted and the run dialog does not come up anymore.
