PopOS’s COSMIC menu is like that I think (you can search files, the web, even stuff like turning volume up and down)? But I’ve never tried to run it outside of PopOS.

Matriks404@lemmy.world 2 months agoIs there something like PowerToys Run for KDE? That’s one of the utilities I would miss the most when switching to Linux.

I use Pop_Os on my desktop, but that’s nowhere near PowerToys. Even the search is barebones when you compare it with PowerToys using the Everything search plugins.
Also PowerToys has a lot more to offer than the search: mouse shake features, keyboard remapping, a great window manager with shortcuts, files preview and much more.
I know there are some decent alternatives in MacOS, but I haven’t found a proper replacement for that on Linux.

Fair. Powertoys is really extensive. I quite like Pop (or gnome’s? Not sure) tiling window manager though.

That’s a Pop addition, although you can easily use it on any other Gnome desktop by installing it as an extension

Yeah, KRunner, and it’s been around longer than Powertoys.
I never really used it on Windows so I don’t know if it has all the same features, but there’s probably some way to make whatever you need from it work.
The whole point of PowerToys was essentially to implement the features Windows was missing that the Linux DEs had already.
