# `desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry`

This `.desktop` file is either missing a `Keywords` entry, or it does not contain keywords above and beyond those already present in the `Name` or `GenericName` entries.

The `Keywords` field is intended to show keywords relevant for a `.desktop` file.

Desktop files are organized in key-value pairs and are similar to INI files.

The `desktop-file-validate` tool in the `desktop-file-utils` package may be useful when checking the syntax of desktop entries.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
