0001 # Mangonel, a simple application launcher 0002 0003 Mangonel is intended as a light weight replacement for the standard Plasma KRunner. 0004 The main difference is that Mangonel sacrifices the number of things it can do for speed and simplicity. 0005 0006 And Mangonel will never re-arrange results, so you don't have to worry about another item being selected right before you hit enter. 0007 0008 > ### Mangonel currently lets you do these things. 0009 > 0010 > * Start applications. 0011 > * Opening files and directories with their default application. 0012 > * Execute shell commands, including arguments. 0013 > * Use it as a calculator. 0014 > * Convert between values in different units. 0015 0016 The default global shortcut to show Mangonel is `CTR+ALT+Space`, you can change this in the Plasma system settings, or by right clicking on it when it is visible. 0017 0018 Mangonel is inspired by the classic [Katapult][] application launcher. 0019 0020 # Installation. 0021 0022 Installing Mangonel from source is not difficult.
