There was a discussion about this some time ago . Now , because I'm
really annoyed by the current arrangement I gave it some thought , and I
came to the conclusion that - yes , it's not that easily fixable because
of the need to navigate the entry as well as the icons in the dash .
So here's my proposal (and please bare with me , every step of it is
IMHO better or equal to the current arrangement) :
1. Make the Title labels ("Applications" etc. ) not selectable .
2. Change the "See more results >" to "Press tab or click here to see
more results >" (I know that's not the best caption but I bet somebody
can come up with a better one)
3.Apply the described behaviour (expand/deflate results on tab key )
Bottom line : the for ex. "Applications See more results>" changes text
as described , and becomes not selectable + clickable (as now). That
gives both good keyboard and mouse navigation . I know it's not a
perfect solution , but as I said I think it's better than the current
arrangement.
Opinions ?
