Description

To reproduce: Start appfinder and write "firefox" then press enter.
Then start appfinder again and write "firefox --new-instance".

Now when you start appfinder and write "fire"
It will make a dropdown with "firefox" and "firefox --new-instance" as suggestions

So if I use the arrow keys and move down to "firefox --new-instance" I must press enter for that option to be choosen (completed). Then press enter again to run the command. If I press right arrow key, the command is not completed. When I press right arrow key, the dropdown box just goes away.

But if I write "firefox --", then I can use right key to complete the rest or when I press enter, the command is not just completed but the command is also run immediately.

I would like the right arrow key to auto-complete in both cases. The enter key is ok, but identical behavior in the dropdownbox and input field would be ideally.
