Description
Today, if you open the applications menu in deskbar, and press a letter on your keyboard a seemingly random application is opened.
(Example, I open applications, press 't' and Art Paint opens with a flicker of it's menu item)
This doesn't really work well and seems incomplete. Maybe we can sneak a little type-ahead selection in here?
1) Open applications menu 2) Type 'ter' which would highlight the terminal menu item 3) Press enter to open it
The above workflow would be helpful with large lists of applications, while not disrupting the feng-shui of Deskbar.
I'm not sure how possible this is in BMenu's, but it might be possible.
