        Funny. Your observation made me think that for the purpose of finding stuff it’s most efficient to have a perfectly linear distribution across all letters. Ie if there is 26 letters and I type out a single one I’m precluding 25/26 applications.

        Of course the application menu uses fuzzy search meaning it looks at the whole string not just the beginning and also crawls through meta data and tags.

        Still for searching it seems most efficient if a language uses all letters evenly 🤔.
