Description: PidginRunner is a Krunner plugin for Pidgin. If your familiar with the Kopete contacts runner it works the same. Looks up contacts for Pidgin in KRunner and opens a chat window. Also you can set the status for Pidgin as well.Last changelog:
0.1 Initial release 0.2 Enabled search on buddyName or buddyAlias
I create fork of this project https://github.com/MurzNN/kde4-krunner-pidgin with some improvements:
- Add full buddy info - full name and contact id together: Name
- Add info about buddy account: type and login, for see difference between same contact in different accounts.
Some unsolved problems:
- After click on contact new conversation opens normally, but conversation tab don't get focus - I can't find the way to set focus for conversation via DBus command
- After click on contact - Pidgin conversation window stay in background, I can't find command to move Pidgin conversation window in foreground.
If anybody can help with this - please reply.
Plugin works, open new tab with contacts, but don't activate chat window, so after clicking I must manually switch to chat window. Can you add command to activate chat window?
Thanks, this will be very useful for me, but I can't compile on Ubuntu, here is the error:

Nice Job. I'll have to take a look at it.

I can't find Pidgin internal dbus command to focus chat window, so I create this one-line command that do this: wmctrl -lpx | grep Pidgin | grep -v Contact | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs wmctrl -iR

Solved via installing dev packages: sudo apt-get install kdelibs5-dev
Any chance of getting this updated for Plasma5? Thanks! -jason
Wow didn't even know anyone was actually using it. Let me see what I can do to get it updated. Might take me a few days.
I always used it in kde4. Thanks!
