Program should read the horizontal resolution of the screen and display itself on top of the screen, shrunk to fit, always on top, without window decorations. Thus the window type shall be changed from Utility to Popup or something else.

The reader app is now fully functional. For improved user experience, there should be an option to use keyboard to select a certain App. Selected buttons should be made "clickable" with enter (which is not the current behavior, at least not under Lubuntu 15.04 with i3 window manager). App should be keyboard selectable (preferably tab and then hjkl or jklů, but arrow keys are acceptable).

Right now the program sends output to stdout; Instead, buttons should appear in the GUI as text is written into the search box. Each button should carry the the name of an application found as a search result. Upon click, this app should be launched

Right now, the method signature of findApp() method of
tgh-launcher/reader/src/com/tgh/launcher/reader/AppList.java is following:

ArrayList findApp(String searchString, int maxResults)

Instead, it should accept a number telling it how many results PER KEYWORD it shall find before giving up FOR THAT PARTICULAR KEYWORD. The number of total results returned shall be kept, but should only denote max number of elements returned in the array.

Example

If we set maximum results per keyword to ten and maximum number of returned results to 5 and then the user searches for "burn a cd"
The program will stop searching for "burn" after finding 10th occurance, stop searching for "a" after 10th occurance (which limits the amount of unwanted results from too broad search terms) and then for cd after 10. In total, the list of results won't be longer than 30. From this list, 5 most relevant results will be returned from this method.
