Aloha! I used to run krunner inside a hyprland session by invoking krunner via hotkeys or console.

Yesterday I removed plasma-desktop as hyprland does all I need except krunner. I kept the krunner package, but the executable "krunner" is no longer found. Anything I can do except installing the whole plasma-desktop again?

the /usr/bin/krunner executable is owned by the plasma-workspace package. It has a lot of dependencies. So yeah, you basically need a huge chunk of kde/plasma to run it.

A pretty similar Qt-based launcher utility (not quite so good in some areas, possibly better in some) is called albert, if you don't want to use plasma anymore.

Thanks, I ll take albert into consideration
