Lancelot: An Alternative KDE Menu
,----[ Quote ]
| Many KDE 3 users swear by the K menu and
| would dare anyone to challenge it with
| something better. Fortunately for those
| people, KDE 4 retained that menu version as
| an option. For the rest of us, there are a
| couple of more robust menus that offer a
| variety of features. Lancelot is a third-
| party menu that has now entered into the KDE
| fold. It is the one I use, and many others
| have found it pretty useful. In this post, I
| will present to you some of Lancelotâs
| features so that you can decide if it is
| right for you.

Kateâs Vi Input Mode â What will KDE 4.4 bring?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, really! Kateâs Vi Mode finally support
| some of the most command commandline mode
| commands from Vim. What can be done from the
| Kate editor part is limited by the fact that
| it canât control its hosting application,
| but Kate â the application â has now gotten
| support for the following commands:
|
| * q, qa
| * w, wq, wa, wqa
| * x, xa
| * bn, bp
| * new, vnew
| * edit

Lancelot and Raptor menu - the other way.
,----[ Quote ]
| Lancelot and Raptor are alternative menus intended for KDE 4. We are,
| however, at the frosty point, and we should ask ourselves the most important
| question here - which one to choose, and are they sufficiently mature and
| functional at all to compete with the default menu? Letâs look at them
| closely then to know the answer.

Youâve got branched!
,----[ Quote ]
| While this is great news for 4.2, it is even better for 4.3. This means that
| the SVN trunk is now exiting the /feature freeze/ state. This is a great
| thing for developers because the development becomes fun again (squashing
| bugs can not be labeled as fun), great for PlanetKDE readers since youâll get
| real news from now on, and great for feature junkies for obvious reasons.

Lancelot, and the Knights of the Plasma Widget
,----[ Quote ]
| As someone who is a stickler for usability and efficiency, this sort of
| project is really brilliant. The fact that there is competition between
| different menu systems is part of what gives open-source operating systems an
| edge over the commercial ones.

Lancelot reaches Holy Grail of KDE menu
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4 is barely eight months old, and already it has three options for a main
| menu. Until now, users have either used the default Kickoff, which makes for
| awkward navigation of the menu tree, or reverted to the familiar but unwieldy
| classic menu. Now, with the first full release of Lancelot, users have
| another option that overcomes the shortcomings of both other alternatives and
| gives KDE 4 a thoroughly modern menu.
|
| [...]
|
| These points aside, Lancelot is in many ways what Kickoff should have been.
| It makes Kickoff structures work without inhibiting navigation or adding
| unnecessary complexity. I would not be greatly surprised if, a few releases
| down the road, Lancelot becomes the default menu in the KDE 4 series.

| Well, not exactly, but now you can get the general idea, and you can see what
| it will look like

| Being a KDE lover myself, I'm always intrigued by some of the different

| It's certainly an interesting menu system and one that I think deserves
| closer attention.

| aspires to be the best answer we can give, merging many ideas form modern
| desktop launch menus.
