Review request for Plasma, KDE Usability and Vishesh Handa.


Changes
-------

* Implement keyboard navigation

Using Tab you can now reach the actions as well, ie, you tab this way:
"David" - "Start chat" - "Open log viewer" - (next entry) "Another guy" - "Start chat" - "Open log viewer" - (next result and so on

vice-versa when back-tabbing. Return invokes the highlighted action. I had to abuse the checked state for this as we cannot programmatically pretend to be hovered. Arrow keys move between search results as usual.


Repository: milou


Description
-------

This brings back support for additional runner actions. A runner can specify supplemental actions to a search result.

It is deliberately no ToolButton as that would look weird, the Highlight blends in much better, although I'm not too happy with the huge Plasma tooltip. I'm not sure how keyboard interaction should work as both Tab and arrow keys would conflict with navigation.


Diffs (updated)

Testing
-------

Hardly any runner makes use of this, though.
I got the kill runner to send sigterm and sigkill, and also some mysterious ktp runer I couldn't find where it is offers "Start Chat" and "Open Chat Log" actions. The Solid runner supposedly also adds actions but I couldn't get that to work.

Unfortunately I had to add QtWidgets for QAction :(
