  Kvaesitso 1.40.2-typing.1 (type-to-search) Stable

  jonas released this 2026-09-10 11:45:39 +02:00 | 25 commits to main since this release

  Fork of Kvaesitso 1.40.2 with type-to-search for
  phones with a physical keyboard (built for the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite).

  What is different from upstream

  • Type to search – pressing a printable key on the home screen opens the search page and
    inserts the character. No need to touch the screen or the search bar first.
  • Characters keep their order, even when typing faster than the launcher can redraw.
  • Backspace deletes, enter launches the highlighted result (same as "launch on enter").
  • The on-screen keyboard is kept hidden while you type, because it would only cover the results.
  • Tapping the search bar still gives the normal editable search field, including the on-screen
    keyboard, so nothing from upstream is lost.
  • Only starts from the home screen (and from the search page itself when the cursor was scrolled
    away). Typing on the widgets, notifications or recents page does not jump to the search.
  • New setting Settings → Search → Search on typing (on by default) to turn it off.

  While a search is driven by the keyboard the text field is intentionally left unfocused - a focused
  text field makes the system show the on-screen keyboard. The characters are therefore inserted into
  the search state directly. The moment you tap the search bar, the text field takes over and behaves
  exactly like upstream.

  Install

  Signed with the fork key, so this replaces the official build (de.mm20.launcher2.release).
  Uninstalling the official app first and restoring the data afterwards keeps the launcher setup.
