Yes, the next version will have this.

That would make this the perfect widget for me,

Thanks you very much regardless....

Why contacts? The hildon desktop already has this function.
You can type and the address book pops up and shows
the matching contacts.

What do you mean with "proper"?

Well a 'proper' application launcher should be able to launch anywhere in the OS, at least I think so. Hence the shortcut key. It'd be cool if you could implement a shortcut key function into this widget.

I don't think this is possible, as keyboard events are caught by
the hildon-desktop to start the contacts search.

Btw app-search-widget goes to extras-testing.
Please test and vote for it.

Nicolai,
It works great but there is a small usability issue.
I guess that widget is rereading app list fully every time it's launched thus delay on startup is quite noticeable. Is it possible to pre-index it - in a way scout does this?

Thank you,

Leonid

I agree with this, takes a few seconds for the app to load. Can be irritating sometimes...

I have also noticed a couple of minor issues regarding specific applications (from extras-testing):

There is an empty field with the standard blue square icon on top of the list. I'm not sure how I got that there.
The icon of e**jpi (the RPN calculator) is somehow oversized in the list
Journey Planner for Norway shows the wrong name (just a few weird characters) and sometimes it disappears from the list completely

Re-install of said apps did not help. Are the issues related to the apps themselves or to the widget?

And, of course, many thanks! I hadn't realized how useful an app like this was (as a widget) before actually trying it out!

Yes, I think all problems are related to the widget. I will install
this applications and look what problem is.

Funny, isn't. I made this widget because some one ask for
it. I don't have much applications installed and thought I would
never use this widget myself. But now, I don't use the maemo
application menu anymore.

I can confirm that in every point.
I also have this standard blue square and I have problems with eSpeakgui. The text is always cryptic and anytime it looks different.

But of course many thanks from me too. The widget is really great!

Would it be possible for you to create a daemon that listens to for example Ctrl + Space and then shows the app search dialog?
