Application Dashboard searching

SUMMARY
After opening the Application Dashboard and typing text the <ENTER> key add a new line (/n) in the search box.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch do the alternative start menu 'Application Dashboard' and open it
2. Search for text

OBSERVED RESULT
Pressing <ENTER> adds a new line in the search box

EXPECTED RESULT
I'm not sure whether the Application Dashboard currently 'does not' or 'does' search, but I wouldn't expect to add new lines with (what it seems to be) no end.

+1 to this. The bug was mentioned here too https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1b7jnj2/comment/ktj22u5 and was mentioend that it isn't recommended to use the Application Dashboard. But I want to add my vote that it's my favorite out of the 3 options/alternatives.

Yeah, if the official line is "don't use it" then it should be removed. If it ships by default, then regressions should be dealt with.

Also happens to me on Arch Linux.

Isn't this a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477348 ?

They could probably be combined.

I can confirm the patch shared in the last comment of that thread is a working work-around
Comment 8 polardelphine 2024-03-10 18:14:03 UTC 
I have the same Issue. I cannot select any items via the keyboard and also when wanting to search for application in application dashboard I have to first manually click into the search field then type. Also when hitting enter after typing a keywoard (which previously opened the respective application) now just does not work anymore at all.

Filter out enter

We don't want that TextEdit to support multiple lines, just simple
queries

return still doesn't launch anything as there never was any keyboard
navigation support for the results, it will need a slightly bigger
refactor for that

Can this bug stay open until Application Dashboard regressions are fixed?
- Enter should open the first result
- Arrow keys should allow navigating results

No, each bug report needs to be about one specific thing. it can't be a mega bug reporting a bunch of different issues.

The specific follow-ups could  be

- For Enter key should open the app: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483142 "[wayland] Pressing Enter on Application Dashboard Takes Newline Instead of Opening First Application in List"
- For arrow keys should change selection: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477348 "Application Dashboard: Can't select items via keyboard after searching"

The former was closed as a duplicate of this, but it has the specific expected result that Enter should launch the first search result. Ok to re-open that one?
