hi there. i am currently searching for some kind of menu-application with fast keyboard navigation. what i have in mind is something like this:

does an application like this already exist, or is there a way to accomplish something similar without writing my own?

Wouldn't a menu with a search box which is focused when you open it, work? Try Cardapio (http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/cardapio-application-menu-gets-system.html).

cardapio is my fallback option, but i would prefer something less distracting.

ratmenu?

as far as i can see ratmenu can only be navigated by cursor-keys and doesn't offer quick access to a single menu item, so sadly doesn't offer anything the native awesome menu doesn't already.

i guess i could use a script to call 9menu and listen for keyboard input for preset index numbers…

aemenu works with keys and MyGtkMenu as well.

with 9menu you need an another 9menu script for submenu(s).
always wanted to try an dmenu/9menu system.
