Hi,

My idea is pretty simple and I think it would reduce a key stroke, when using the Application Launcher.

When you press Super and then search what your after, say "Libre" what then returns is all the LibreOffice Programs. Now if the one you want is at the top, you simple just press enter, as its already highlighted. If you want the second or further down item, you have to press down one extra time, then what feels natural (at least to me) as you already see the first item highlighted

To select the second the item, you have to press Down and then Down again, to hit the second search result. In my eyes you should just need to press it once, as the first item is already highlighted.

Currently how it works
Item - Keystroke
First Item - Enter
Second Item - Down (x2) + Enter
Third Item - Down (x3) + Enter
Four Item - Down (x4) + Enter

How my proposal works
Item - Keystroke
First Item - Enter
Second Item - Down (x1) + Enter
Third Item - Down (x2) + Enter
Four Item - Down (x3) + Enter

Thoughts?

Keep up the great work KDE Team!

Yes please!!

I've thought this maaaaany times but never thought to ask for it. I go to do this naturally every time, so would be good if it was default behaviour.
