            Bug ID: 348158
           Summary: Auto-completion missing from the krunner command edit
           Product: krunner
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: me@vhanda.in
          Reporter: reinhold@kainhofer.com

In Plasma 4, the textedit box of the krunner had this nice auto-completion
feature that you could just enter the first letters and it would suggest the
auto-completion.

Eg. if you had opened a URL through krunner in the past, let's say
open-tools.net/forum/recent.html, then when you started typing open, it would
automatically fill the rest and suggest that whole URL (or app) from the
history. 
This meant that one could simply type open[Return] and that URL would be
opened. 

In Plasma5, the text edit no longer auto-completes, it merely suggests the
default apps/bookmarks/etc. So when you type "auto[Return]" it first does
NOTHING, but if you wait a bit before the [Return], krunner will start the
first suggestion "open on the command line".
Both cases are not what is desired in my case...

You also don't have any visual feedback in the textinput box.

So, please bring back the auto-complete from the history as it was in Plasma 4.

This issue is somehow connected to issue #335731 (missing history), but the
auto-completion I'm complaining about is not neccessarily only about the
history. And in any case, issue #335731 is only about history being available
with the up/down keys, but not about auto-completion.

Reproducible: Always
