a (minor) usability suggestion...

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

First off - great little app! It fills a niche in my attempt at "no-mouse" navigation of the OSX GUI.

My suggestion: if no keystrokes are input in the input field, and we tab to the list window (showing ALL apps), that a keystroke here would take us to the first item-name beginning with that keystroke. Right now you have it so we can traverse the full list with page up/down keys fairly quickly, but to make a selection, we have to use the mouse to make the selection, or Shift-tab back to the input field and type the name just observed in the List window, or scroll a 2nd time (this time sequentially) to actually launch the item.

So, selection-by-keystroke within the full list (at least by single keystroke, if nothing else) would put this baby over the top for me (and others, I'm sure)
