Current Behavior

When using Albert, the input query is confusing with the selected entry.

For example, here I am using the Numix theme, and type vial. Albert is showing **"Vial" right next to vial **

With the default palette:

Expected Behavior

I think Albert appends the description of the selected item to the right of the input with the same style (font, size) as the input, which makes it confusing.

Anything else?

This is the input action/completion text. If you hit tab it will replace the input with this text. What would you suggest? Do you want it to not be visible at all?

[tomsquest]

I would make it not visible at all.

Reasoning:

1. The first items is de facto the one that will be run on Enter
2. Google autocomplete does not do it

I also find this quite distracting. I'd suggest adjusting the opacity for this "Tab completion preview". And maybe an option to turn it off completely. Personally I never use tab completion. I can see a use for a preview while navigating folders, but usually my folder paths to the desired destination are so long, that I can't even see the end of it in the preview and to verify the correct folder of a desired file I usually look at the path in the results list.

Currently I am evaluating the frontend design options. I recently decided to go with widgets only but it's that time consuming and the limitations are plain frustrating that I consider reintroducing QML again. I will take this into account.
