    Why would it ever launch programs before a user has finished specifying? How would one ever run anything other than calculator?

      Because - and I’m not defending this behavior - it launches the highlighted program as if you were navigating with arrows

        Oh man that’s also terrible. Or a great way to launch 15 programs just by swiping through a list.

          It’s just the one since the start menu/krunner disappear after launching something.

          I just have to wait like 200ms but…I use AutoCAD for a living. I type commands and hit enter thousands of times a day. Really hard habit to break and frankly, I don’t want to break it!

            So you could rename all your programs to start with a specific letter to call it and bypass this bug, but you’re limited to 26 or so (depending on your language settings and keyboard) unique programs.
