I have been annoyed many times by this, although I never reported a bug. I also found it confusing to have autocompletion, but I still have to type it through.
I suggest that the history should be added as just another runner. It would show the last N used things when started, and then display a filtered list when you write something. I don't know the architecture though, is it possible to remember the last actions instead of what you typed? 2010/2/27 Jacopo De Simoi <wilder...@gmail.com> > Dear plasmoids > I just closed as WONTFIX the (n+1)st report about people trying to use > downarrow key to select entries other than the first one in krunner default > interface.
