[Bug 84722] Re: deskbar-applet requires too many keystrokes

[Bogdan Butnaru]

But I still don't like it because of navigation issues :-)

For the same simple search ("picard"), I get a screen-high list of
things --- with a scrollbar, that can' be mouse-clicked! -- that is
near-impossible to walk through.

In this example, categories with more than, say, five entries, should display only the likeliest three (or the first if there's no other info) and allow easy navigation: for instance, in this example:
- the Files section should display only three entries, among which should be the picard folder (that's currently near the bottom)
- the Files section should have an Alt-F shortcut marked near its title. When I press it, the section should be selected, and:
   - left/right should navigate between pages
   - space should toggle between the contracted and and "expanded" list
   - enter should probably open the first hit, and 'down arrow' should probably select the second hit.
