On manjaro (xfce edition), just press start and then type part of the application name.

I just figured it out a few hours ago. :-)

I bound it to Start originally, but then all my Start+[Key] bindings would open the start menu (and leave it open). This was a few years ago though, maybe the current behavior is different.

Add this to Application Autostart in xfce4-session-settings.

xcape -e 'Super_L=Control_L|Shift_L|Alt_L|Super_L|Escape'

Then bind xfce4-popup-whiskermenu to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Super+Escape in the keyboard shortcuts. You can use another key combination, but that's what I use to avoid any plausible conflict.
