Overview: TAB to search (instead of filtering, even if there are matching windows)
The current Overview effect filters for windows that match the search string. If no window matches, it searches for applications to open instead. This behavior makes sense but there is one problem to it:
- If a window has a similar name to another application (like "System Settings", "NVIDIA Settings") OR
- one window contains the name of the other application in its title (Firefox, for example, includes the query in its window title) OR
- you just want to open another instance of the same application
then you are unable to (quickly) do that through the effect.
With this merge request, users can press the TAB key while searching (acts as a toggle) to show Krunner instead of the windows.
