SUMMARY
I am unable to launch application from `Favorites` with the enter key if there is only one entry. As soon as I add another entry it's fine. Mouse clicking is unaffected.

I use the favorite menu as a quick shortcut to start my web browser, I just press meta then enter. When I tidied up my favorite (browser is the only app in favorites), I noticed that it stopped working.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have exactly one item in kickoff's favorite menu
2. Open kickoff
3. Press enter to launch the app

OBSERVED RESULT
The app does not launch

EXPECTED RESULT
The app should open, just like what it would do when there are more than 1 app pinned in the favorite menu
