Re: Which function is called when an app is selected in AppDisplay by hitting the return key?

["Jasper St. Pierre" <jstpierre mecheye net>]

If you're implementing a new search result, the thing that gets passed
to you is whatever object that you return from
getInitialSearchResults/getSubsequentSearchResults.

If you're patching or subclassing AppDisplay, it pushes a ShellApp, so
the thing that gets passed to you is that, from which you can call
launch() or open_new_window() or a bunch of other things.
