shortcut "calc" meant to open calculator always open libreoffice ( first position in search )

Question

When I search for an app with the windows keyboard key, I enter calc to open calculator, and I always have 2 results, LibreOffice, and Calculator. LibreOffice is always first, and I always open LibreOffice, which is not what I want.

This is a many many times error, does anybody know how to prevent it ? Maybe changing the order of the 2 apps, or disabling LibreOffice for this search.... I don't know how to do none of them.

How about setting a key (such as F12) to invoke the calculator? — graham, Sep 02 '20 at 15:39
I am used to write calc, I would think about it if this is not possible to achieve — Juliatzin del Toro, Sep 02 '20 at 15:42
You need to modify the related `.desktop` file for _LO Calc_ and change the application's "name" to something else... — FedKad, Sep 02 '20 at 16:06

You need to modify the related .desktop file for LibreOffice Calc and change the application's "name" to something else.
