 ====== xfce4-appfinder 4.8 Roadmap ====== ====== xfce4-appfinder 4.8 Roadmap ======
 +===== Port to Garcon =====
  
-===== Improve Keyboard Navigation (Easy) =====+Drop libxfce4menu and use garcon. There is already a branch for this.
  
-This one is rather easy to define: just improve navigation with the keyboard. E.g. if one activates an item, just run exec and don't require the Enter key to be pressed two times. Improve switching between the input field, categories list and item view. Allow <Shift>Return or <Ctrl>Return to execute inside the terminal. +Completed: 100% (**merged into master**)\\

-===== Use Startup Notification (Easy) =====+This one is rather easy to define: just improve navigation with the keyboard. 
 + 
 +==== Proposals ==== 
 + 
 +  * If one presses enter in the search field when there is only one item in the applications list, launch that application instead of focusing the item in the list. 
 +  * Allow <Shift>Return or <Ctrl>Return to launch the selected application inside a terminal. 
 +  * When the carret is at the extreme right of the search field and when the right arrow is pressed, focus the applications list. This might be a bad idea if the user presses right too long to navigate in the search field.

 +===== Use Startup Notification =====
  
 Again, this one is simple. Right now, xfce4-appfinder uses exo-open to launch desktop entries. This was easy to implement, but we should really check if there is startup notification support in the desktop entry and if so, make use of it. Again, this one is simple.

-===== Implement an Extension API (Tough) =====+===== Implement an Extension API (postponed to 4.10) =====
  
 A vague idea of this was presented on [[http://gezeiten.org/post/2009/07/Appfinder-Ideas]]. Something like this could greatly improve the usefulness of the appfinder and integrate it more into the rest of Xfce. It could then also serve as a replacement for xfrun4, maybe with an alternative, stripped down interface. A vague idea of this was presented on [[http://gezeiten.org/post/2009/07/Appfinder-Ideas]].
