Plasma/SAL QML

TODO

Keyboard Navigation

• Add a shortcut to open/close launcher
• Add arrow-key navigation within results

Appearance

• Make texts easier to read (more opaque background?)
• Only show tooltip when text is truncated
• Hide "highlight" frame when cursor is not over any item
• When search results are incrementally added, opacity of result items which are already there should not change. Right now opacity of all existing result items goes to 0 and back to 1.
• BUG: the tooltip dialog can "stick" even though sal itself is hidden/closed, or unfocused. probably needs to be a timer-based close/hide event. This also applies to some failure to propagate in some form or another, the mouse leave events of the favorites icon.

Behavior

• After entering a category there is no obvious way to go back, add a "Back" button or breadcrumbs?
• Clicking a folder from the "Files" runner opens the folder in Dolphin, it should list the folder content IMO, just like one can enter a category
• Tabs on the top seems to be hardcoded, should they be customizable or at least extensible?
• Typing a search term in the search box searches in all runners by default, instead of the current one
• Favorites should save to the config. Currently having issues getting it to save *anything*.
• Hide the salviewer popup when an executable/item is launched. That would require some kind of signal from the qml side, connected from the C++ applet side, which would then send a dbus command. A cleaner route would be nice, but I believe that's the only way.
• Create a "Close" button rendered on top of sal. That code would have to be written *inside* salviewer itself.
• Install sal-qml as not only an applet, but a containment as well. So as to replace the current broken C++ one in master.

Questions

What is the difference between "Categories" and "Apps"?
