The dialog now opens on NVDA+alt+E rather than NVDA+alt+R.
Typing in the list now searches by whole name instead of by first letter. s then l finds Slack, where before the l jumped to the first application beginning with l. Letters typed within about a second and a half of each other build up one search, and a pause starts a new one.
Part of a name works as well, so chrome finds Google Chrome. A name that begins with what you typed always wins first, so l still goes to Logic rather than to Slack.
Only the rows on screen are searched, so a search never jumps inside an application you have left collapsed. Pressing the same letter repeatedly still steps through everything beginning with it.
