0002
0003 Framework for Plasma runners
0004
0005 ## Introduction
0006
0007 The Plasma workspace provides an application called KRunner which, among other
0008 things, allows one to type into a text area which causes various actions and
0009 information that match the text appear as the text is being typed.
0010
0011 One application for this is the universal runner you can launch with ALT-F2.
0012
0013 This functionality is provided via plugins loaded at runtime called "Runners".
0014 These plugins can be used by any application using the Plasma library. The
0015 KRunner framework is used to write these plugins, as explained in
0016 [this tutorial](http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/AbstractRunner)
