[dash] Cannot press tab to switch keyboard focus to results

[CaptSaltyJack]

In 11.10, I can no longer bring up the dash, type "term" and tab to 'Terminal' and hit enter. In 11.04 this was possible. It seems like now I have to type the partial name, then hit down arrow twice, which is not intuitive.

Note that you can instead simply hit the enter key in Unity 2D and it should launch the first result.

True, but what about the second or third results? Tabbing is an intuitive action one would expect to be able to skip to other items, however it does not work. Arrow keys work but it takes two arrow downs to get to the results for some reason. I vote for tabs, though.. easier reach than arrow keys.

Please return this functionality to dash...it was so convenient to be able to tab through the results.

I agree with CaptSaltiJack. At least there should be an option to choose between these two methods.
