Yep, tried the Manjaro XFCE, but again, no mnemonic hierarchical application launcher, MATE is all I can find among the modern DE's.
To explain, mnemonic for first letter of app menu etc. Looking for mnemonic keyboard shortcuts for efficiency as well as memory aid. Having a blank "search box" doesn't help when your senior brain doesn't remember where to start searching. Organized categories (by application function) are another way to locate things, and much more efficient IMHO when combined with keyboard shortcuts. (My fingers remained programmed by muscle memory to subtle nuances between the IBM 026 and 029 keypunches....I'm that old....) I've really come to like MATE for that reason. Willing to explore others if they have the functionality of mnemonic hierarchical application menus. Manjaro/MATE for ARM/PBPro would be lovely!
....and be thankful we don't have to punch cards to program anymore!
