Should I try adding Linux here

@shubhexists This is a known issue. For now, the search command is tailored for Mac OS. Restricting your prompt to reference UI elements which are already on-screen is a work-around. Having a set way to open a launcher/menu via key shortcuts is going to be more difficult in Linux as there isn't one set way to open the launcher/menu like in Mac OS.

One possible way to resolve this issue on GNU/Linux could be to simply prompt the user for their keyboard shortcut to open a launcher/menu/search.

Hi I solved it and now it is searching applications using the windows key...
If you agree, I can make a PR adding this to the main repository?
Edit - It seems brave has a diff position for search bar than chrome : ) That required manual intermission

Windows Key + type should work in most Linux distros (+ in Windows). I will test it later and maybe also create a PR with a fix for Ubuntu.

I guess I agree that windows key + type might be an option that may cover a much wider range of devices

@shubhexists Yeah this is a good default. It personally isn't the key I use to open the menu (I have a keyboard intended for Macs, so I have command/alt open the menu), so I'm probably biased against it. But you are right, this is certainly most common for Linux.

@shubhexists That looks great! This should be a good PR.

Merged the PR. Thanks for monitoring @michaelhhogue and adding the code @shubhexists
