Dash - No indication what happens when you press enter

[Michal Predotka]

Currently there's no hint what happen after pressing Enter in Dash. IMHO it'll be nice to highlight an icon of the application (or file) which is focused and which will start (open) after hitting Enter.
Look at the attached screenshot. I'm not sure what will happen after pressing Enter now:
- will it start Beneath A Steel Sky?
- will it open next 48 results?
- will nothing change?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It should both be obvious that an item is focused (and will get the
Enter) and there should be an immediate visual feedback appropriate to
the nature of the thing being activated.

Completely agreed, ussually, Enter launches top left corner icon, whatever category it is.
However, if the search is still running, the order may change and the user has no clue what will happen.

The icon that will get the Enter (probably the top left one) should be clearly highlighted.
There is no icon highlighted until the user selects one using arrow keys or mouse which makes it impossible to say what will happen on Enter.
