Baloo-search is really useful and one of my main reasons for choosing KDE. One thing however that I am missing a lot, is a context menu for search results in the application launcher (or krunner), like in Windows and Unity.

At the moment you can only left-click to open a found file. Often however, I would like to right-click the search result to open the folder that the file is in. Or sometimes I would like to copy the files path or copy, rename or delete the file, or open the file with a different application instead of the default one.

As far as I know this is not possible in KDE at the moment. I think it would be a great time-saver if this functionality would be implemented in future releases.

I'm delighted to see that in Kubuntu 18.04 there is now a context menu for Application Launcher search results to open the folder that contains the file (or folder).

While "open in folder" is useful, I really miss the ability to use "open with other app" from within the launcher. Or "copy as path", as available on Windows.
