Sentry Crash Report:

Description Schlaefer 2022-08-06 13:33:56 UTC 
This is a feature request to add ctrl+k and ctrl+j shortcuts to navigate up and down in the Kickoff search results. It would allow to select (and start) an item without the hands leaving the keyboard home row.

 krunner already offers this feature, so it would not only be handy but adds consistency.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kickoff and perform a search
2. Hit ctrl+k or ctrl+j


OBSERVED RESULT

Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT

The highlight marking the selected search result item should move up or down in the search results.

applets/kickoff add Ctrl+HJKL navigation shortcuts

The Milou view used in KRunner and Overview has these navigation
shortcuts already; this commit adds them to Kickoff to preserve a
bit of consistency across Plasma's Search UIs.
