And it should place a highlight on the first of possibly many
altertatives and let me launch it by pressing enter.

For example, I should be able to launch google-chrome by simply typing
goo<Enter>, even though there is google-earth further down the list.
Also, I should be able to move selection using arrows. It is very
annoying to have to switch from keyboard to mose interaction just to
launch an app.

The readline functionality was there just recently; where did it go?

I think the history should be a simple hash, rather that a list, and it
should be unlimited. I can't remember a single day during the entire
history of bash (or tcsh) history when I needed to know the order of my
commands. I only needed to recall and edit them.

So I don't think it will be good to link it to bash history, as it is.
Order is not important.
