Hi!
sorry for title- English isn't my native language :)
But, anyway: when i click on kickoff's icon, and type "fir" i got a list of two applications: firefox and firewall configurer. to choose firefox i have to either:
- type "firefox" and press enter
- type "firef" (so from two suggested apps only one remain) and press "enter"
I think that it would be good if, after typing "fir" i could use my arrow-keys (up, down) to choose the program I'd like to run. Default key for moving focus from the place where I type "fire" to the application list is so-called "windows" key- I think this isn't the best place, because it is quite often uses for "binding" the kickoff menu (so it behaves similarly to MS Windows). Not to mention that even when it's not binded, it is probably the last key to look for that (i've discovered it by an accident).

Reproducible: Always
