xfce4-appfinder 4.8 Roadmap

Port to Garcon

Drop libxfce4menu and use garcon. There is already a branch for this.

Improve Keyboard Navigation

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.

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.

Implement an Extension API

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.
