Weird. It's always been fast for me.
Is something throttling your CPU ? Have you tried using ALT+F2 to search ? But even if you had not it should be quick to search...
Nothing is throttling my CPU unless it's somehow defaulted on in OpenSuse, Manjaro, Debian, or Linux Mint. Also these same distros, I installed other DEs on and had it work just fine. It's a AMD Ryzen 9 3900x 4 ghz 12 cores.
This is specifically a KDE problem. So question, if you do windows key -> term/kon -> enter. As quickly as you can, does it accept the enter input and immediately launch your terminal?
I may not be as fast as you, but yeah it does work. Then again, I'm not using the default launcher.
I only notice it slightly slower on my intel i5 3rd gen machine. Which is exlected.
Oh what launcher are you using?
It's called
minimal menu@MJBrune @Ashiette I tried doing it as quickly as I can and it didn't work the first time (result appeared what looks like about 0.1-0.2s later) but it did work in subsequent attempts (even when looking for other apps)
CPU: i5-1135G7
If you look for an app and then for a different app, does it find it quickly? I suspect it might be reading the .desktop files lazily (meaning it only reads them the first time you look for something)
Edit: nvm ksycoca is there to prevent that
Even if I look for the same app over and over again, it doesn't speed up. Doesn't seem like a caching issue to me. Perhaps the second time you were just .1-.2 seconds slower on the enter button?
