I never tried but after seeing your post, I just looked everywhere and didn't find anything to achieve that. When @Thanatermesis is back, he'll be able to let you know if it can be done. It is so fast for me to Alt + Esc to access App (typing the 1st letters of the app name) that I don't need such a feature. And as Elive is not memory hungry, I leave all the apps I often use opened in different workspace to access it easily using the Virtual Desktop(workspace) applet/gadget at the top right. ![Elive_Screenshot_2018-09-01_14%3A03%3A42__1595x899](https://forum.elivelinux.org/uploads/default/original/1X/7f96f96e7e3af1b95059fbc87b21bba30827161f.jpeg) ---

> [@Fantasy\_Apple](#): > > I don’t know if i want to add a new category for newly installed applications how to do that… Category? what you mean?... it should be automatically-correctly shown in their specific categories, otherwise the problem should be by the application itself which didn't provided a correctly structured .desktop file (on which also is set which category/ies to use) ---

I don't know **.desktop file** structured well or not. I've installed **Clementine Music Player** which should automatically shown up in the **Sound** section. Unfortunately i didn't find it there. If any application fails to detect its specific category it should fall into a category named **Others** if it possible. If it doesn't is there any way to make it manually? ---

Nope, it should contain a correct .desktop file for it to be displayed correctly How you installed clementine? from the elive default repos? try to run the command: **api clementine**
