Hello, Applications Menu Applet is simple. And why not. But I miss at least 2 and half things here : it’s not possible to « completely » browse it with arrows keys, categories stay out of reach. in categories, there is no « recent » item which could show the dozen last used app’s ( like in xfce…

Hey there. Just to add some more insights: It’s probably not the best use of developer time to make proper unicode / international support for parts of Budgie which might be axed in the future. But [as a broader topic] something worthwhile to research, and learn more about. Because it affects…

To be honest - proper unicode/international support isnt wasted effort IMHO. Much of the research, techniques learned and indeed code could be reused in future projects. Yeah - this topic is referring to the upstream projects budgie menu .

All - think the alphabetical sorting issue is a simple change to the menu code Adding the following to the strcmp functions “.casefold().normalize(-1, NormalizeMode.ALL_COMPOSE)” at https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/blob/master/src/applets/budgie-menu/BudgieMenuWindow.vala#L539 and ht…

UBudgie 18.04 here, I’d like to see that :wink: ( remember : usptream did not see that as an issue and closed it ).

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntubudgie-dev/desktop-search sudo apt upgrade reboot -- Once finished testing to revert: sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntubudgie-dev/desktop-search let me know if ordering is resolved searching - is it still quick to search? Is it noticeably slower than before? when sear…

I’m afraid there is absolutely no difference : sorting is still not natural to my language… [budgie_menu_01] ↑ nothing starting with E or É between D and F [budgie_menu_02] ↑ À and É at the end of list [budgie_synaptic_desktop_search]

ah well… it seems to work under german - but not under french. ho hum. never mind.

There is another place where sorting is not correct but not for the same reason : places applet [budgie_places_sort] Here also alphabetical sorting is expected. Places get alphabetically sorted by their initial english name, not by their french displayed counterparts. FR = Documents ⋅ Télécharg…

yeah - it will be the same issue - lists are in ascii order and accents are never next to their ascii equivs.

Ok, but as I pointed in Applications menu : incomplete keyboard browsing & no recent category many programs seem to act otherwise regarding « alphabetical sorting », and not only in french… It looks OK in « default » Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 so what makes Budgie different here ? And whatever the lan…
