Review request for KDE Base Apps and Peter Penz.


Summary
-------

This patch allows finding items by typing on the keyboard while the KItemListController is in focus. Timer and key queuing is handled by KItemListKeyboardManager, and search itself is done by reimplementing indexForKeyboardSearch(QString) from KItemModelBase. This implementation does not, at the moment, take care of the repetitive typing as suggested by Frank. I think we can implement that once this is in.

p.s. Not sure if line 213 in kitemlistcontroller.cpp is the best way to do it. Returning true does not work.
p.s. I feel the name KItemListKeyboardManager can be changed to KItemListKeyboardSearchManager, although a little too big.
