[Solved] Coming back to MInt.

Post by 72Cuda »

Two questions.
1. KDE had Krunner. You start typing for example Fire.. and FireFox is suggested, and you can start it. Does Cinnamon have something similar?

2. If I just start typing on the desktop, what I type pops up in the lower right corner of the screen. What is that.? Can't find that in any searches.

#1 Yes, as part of the menu. Press Super and type. In case of FF you can also use terms like browser or web.

#2 It is a search function. You can find objects, which are currently possibly hidden by open windows. After pressing Enter they get opened / launched.
