Bug Description

GnoMenu has great potential. I found it while looking for a functional keyboard-only menu system. The built-in Windows 7-style find dialog has great potential to make it faster/easier to find things in the menu system without removing my hands from the keyboard.

Here are the issues I found in ten minutes of mouse-less usage:

-two down-cursors required to select the first search result
-no way to cursor back to the search result
-typing after cursoring destroys search result (I'd expect further typing to *append* to my search, not delete it)
-cannot figure out how to switch panes (eg, Favorites -> Applications)
-cannot find a list of hotkeys, nor any other documentation
-no way to distinguish locations of similarly named apps
