I tried to apply this great trick in KDE4, but it does not work since DCOP has been replaced with D-Bus. Do you know the D-Bus solution for the same?

thanks!

I am glad you like it, I have found it useful. Please share it with others. But I am confused about the %22. Can you submit your code so I can take a look.

Thanks

That tip is really awesome. Thanks for sharing.
At first I didn’t know it was working, because Konqueror did not raise to the front automatically.
When I pulled up Konqueror later — there were all my previous searches.

I was not able to use the ‘win+g’ sequence as you did. It just mapped the ‘g’ key. oops.
Instead I used Ctl-Shift-G.

I also add %22 before and after the search term so it searches as a literal string.
