kmenu

kmenu is a graphical application launcher for the KDE Plasma desktop environment. It provides users with a centralized and organized way to access installed applications, system settings, and other frequently used functions. The kmenu typically appears as a button on the taskbar, often in the bottom-left corner of the screen, which expands into a menu when clicked.

The appearance and functionality of kmenu can be customized. Users can modify its layout, add or remove categories, and change the theme to match their desktop's aesthetic. It supports features such as searching for applications by typing keywords, pinning frequently used items for quick access, and providing shortcuts to system functions like logging out, shutting down, or locking the screen. The underlying implementation of kmenu has evolved over different versions of KDE Plasma, with its features and design being refined with each release. It is a core component of the KDE Plasma user experience, aiming to provide an efficient and intuitive way to interact with the desktop.
