In krunner you choose your action by typing in a text input box. However, if you leave the text box, for instance by using the "tab" button, then typing no longer has any effect. I think that if the text box loses focus, and the user begins typing again, then the text box should get focus and the text should be added to the end of the existing text (that is, not over-write the existing text). Considering that typing does not currently do anything, I don't see any loss of functionality here, only a gain.

I just wanna say that this is already the default behavior for krunner in "task oriented" mode, so in theory it just needs to be implemented in the "command oriented" mode.

Task orientated mode brings up that little annoying window in the side, though. :/

That, my friend, is the cold naked truth. ;D It is indeed VERY annoying.
