After the 2022 removal and restoration for some users last year, Pixel Launcher search is once again letting you open apps using the keyboard.
When you search for an app in the Pixel Launcher, Google now highlights the first result in the application row and shows an “open” prompt in the text field. Tapping the enter key – which switches from a magnifying glass – in Gboard will automatically launch the app. The first letter of the app is enough to trigger the shortcut.
