Hi, the idea is not a bad one, especially when you add a lot of apps. I will definitely think about how best to implement it
I'm thrilled that you like the idea. I've done a very quick and dirty mockup:
Just a form of autocomplete for now. Of course, thinking down the line on further iterations, it could also invoke a websearch via a user-defined search engine, or go to other sites with a shortcut (e.g. you type w:python so it searches Wikipedia (denoted by w:) for "Python").
Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe.
Not really, but it would enhance mafl greatly.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if there was a way to invoke a web-search directly from mafl. The way the UI is built, I think a dedicated search field would look out of place. So instead, I suggest a Spotlight (macOS)-like text field that pops up when the user simply starts typing. It could either suggest to go to a pre-defined web-search-provider (e.g. DuckDuckGo) or offer auto-complete for tiles that are a part of the local mafl-configuration.
Priority
Medium (Would be very useful)
Is this something you would be keen to implement
