Love the panel.

I would like to be able to:

  1. Open panel
  2. type name or part of name of app
  3. hit tab to go to first entry in list
  4. hit enter to launch app

All of this works except for Step #3. I have to either shift+tab backwards through the list, or hit tab about 20 times to cycle through all the other buttons.

So my request is: can tab focus move directly from the search box to the app box?

Thanks!

Will see what I can do ;-)

1) does still not work with the keyboard, does it?
