[Feature Request] Favorite applications outside their submenu #77

Having to open an entire submenu to access favorite applications adds too many unnecessary mouse clicks. So much time would be saved if it was possible to place shortcuts directly to the menu. By the way, KDE and Windows own start menus have this feature, and it's totally amazing.

Whisper menu on Xfce also has this and I rarely have to go into any submenus. With both an easily accessible favourites list and the searchbox the categorised submenus become virtually obsolete for me.

This is implemented in Whisker Menu by making the Favorites category the default view, as is recommended in #75. Seems like the simplest way to implement this functionality to me.
