In the old Meta+V QtWidgets menu popup, the top item was always highlighted, so you could search until the item you wanted was on top, and then immediately hit the return key. With the new QML-based one, you have to hit the down arrow before the return key. It's a tiny bit slower and more annoying. This behavior is shared with the widget of course, but it was never that important in the widget. But it is more important for the menu popup representation. I think it would be a good change for both of them.
