A simplified fork of KDE Plasma's default Kickoff Application Launcher
This is a simplified fork of Kickoff which is KDE Plasma Desktop's default Application launcher. The design is minimalized without compromising on power and important features.
The search bar uses Plasma Search, which is the same search provider used in the default Kickoff, Krunner and the Overview effect which supports powerful plugins.
NOTE: The initial codebase was copied from Kickoff which can be found in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/, on every Linux system that has KDE Plasma installed. /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/ is no longer available and kickoff is compiled into a binary, the original source can be found on https://github.com/KDE/plasma-desktop/tree/master/applets/kickoff
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.kickoff/, on every Linux system that has KDE Plasma installed.-
