           Summary: krunner should allow keyboard arrows to switch between
                    entries

           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

krunner is so cool. 
Use case:
Joe uses ALT-F2, types some letters and several entries appear at the bottom. He sees his wanted application on the second position. Being too lazy to enter more letters to further define his search he hits the right arrow on his keyboard to switch to the second entry. But oops.. nothing happens.

In the latest kde4 version, the arrows do not allow switching entries. This would be helpful and allow the user to not use his mouse to switch to a specific entry. My hands are already on the keyboard and there should be no reason to head back to the mouse.

For the rest, great work everyone.

Christophe
