Put the command in shotcutd and malfunctions. If I run it on console works fine.

Do you plan to support use in portrait mode?

Would be nice if I could launch the program also by tapping it on the list. Now it only accepts "enter" key as launcher.

The app-search-app does not have a launcher icon and does not appear in the application list, but should be called from a script, like this:

Code:
/opt/app-search-app/app-search-app
The app UI is keyboard-friendly (discard the dialog with Backspace on the empty entry box, select with Enter and move between apps in the list with Left/Right and Up/Down while still being focused on the entry list). Useful with D-Bus scripts or something. I'm personally using modified-hildon-desktop with a slight modification (similar to this patch, only with "o" instead of "x" and the path to app-search-app instead of xterm) that maps the "o" key on the Desktop to this app, so I can just go to the Desktop, hit "o" and then start typing the app name and hit enter

And yes, the app is missing from the user/ section on purpose, and does not have an icon in the launcher, because it only makes sense if added to scripts (for everything else, you can use the original app-search-widget).
Is it possible to launch it without going to desktop? For instance with a keyboard shortcut like CTRL + L from any application you're using?

Yes, if you patch hildon-desktop or use modified-hildon-desktop with the D-Bus scripts. Instructions should be around somewhere here on the forums - use the search feature

That's what I wanted. App search widget was always buggy to me (anyone using that widget? Can you confirm it?).

But I can launch this app, search but the selected app is not launched on tapping. Anyone have same problem? I am using latest CSSU testing flavor.
