I'm several months into my Linux journey and this is one thing that is driving me absolutely crazy because it legit just works on Windows and OS X.

1. I hit the start button

2. I type "note"

3. I hit enter.

If I give it a full second between steps 2 and 3, Notesnook opens as intended.

But if I hit enter at a normal speed, a game (Necesse) launches.

This is presumably because it's executing the command before the search finishes.

Can I change this behavior? I use AutoCAD for a living so typing a command and hitting enter really fast is a habit I won't be able to break.
