90% of the time I only use the last 2-3 items to copy. I never use the search feature. To select the 2nd item, I need 4 keystrokes:
Shift+Super+V (open clipboard, search bar selected)
DOWN_KEY (1. item selected)
DOWN_KEY (2. item selected)
ENTER (paste)
Potential solutions/workarounds
Automatically select the first item, so there is one key stroke less:
Shift+Super+V (open clipboard, 1. item selected)
DOWN_KEY (2. item selected)
ENTER (paste)
If users enter any key other than the arrow keys, automatically search. Example:
Shift+Super+V (open clipboard, first item selected)
user types ("a"), "a" is shown in the search bar, but still the first item is selected (so there is no need to press KEY_DOWN) [if there is no result, nothing is selected and selection reappears, once the search yields results]
Additional context
Afaik this was the default behavior in Windows and it really streamlined the user experience. I don't see any drawback. Users can still use the search bar, the arrow keys or Ctrl+N - whatever suits them best!
