KDE KDE developer Pinheiro revealed his ideas on the next KDE menu, dubbed 'Raptor'. "What is Raptor? Raptor is a an amazing project I have been working on in the last few days. It tries to be a fresh new way of finding your desktop applications, and interacting with its users." A design document (containing more screenshots) is also available [.pdf].

Kickoff already works like this. Just press the default Alt-F1, type in the application name or part of it (auto-completion) and it should pop up at the top of the search results. From there you just have to hit Enter.

I'm curious whether Raptor will be included in 4.0 as the default KMenu replacment. So far it looks like it will miss every scheduled Beta release so I can't imagine that the KDE developers will use an untested (both technically and usability-wise) piece of software.

It seems Kickoff will be the only menu which will be stable by the time KDE 4.0 ships, so that might make it as default. Of course, this can change for 4.1 ;)
