But when a search filter is written, the up/down arrows are no directly active to navigate the filtered list. When clicking the shift key, the up/down arrows become active. Could the up/down arrows be active without having to press shift? Thanks! 1248421 1 holo-doc 2012-04-22 10:27:26 +0000 Hi First thanks for the tip with the shift key @ europium. I wanted to add that this worked as wished up to KDE 4.8.1 - the 4.8.2 (Kubuntu 11.10) update broke this behavior. 1249169 2 till2.schaefer 2012-04-24 12:51:05 +0000 it used to work in previous versions without the shift key. so i guess this is more a broken feature (bug) as a wish. 1254289 3 tmartsum 2012-05-12 19:53:49 +0000 Yes, this used to work and it is an annoying bug. 1258214 4 cfeck 2012-05-24 22:42:54 +0000 *** Bug 300576 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1259116 5 adaptee 2012-05-27 19:32:23 +0000 *** Bug 299593 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1259122 6 adaptee 2012-05-27 19:46:00 +0000 maybe introduced by this change: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/104422/ 1259206 7 adaptee 2012-05-28 09:20:30 +0000 *** Bug 300740 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1259983 8 kdebugs 2012-05-29 03:16:09 +0000 *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** 1264807 9 Tanktalus 2012-06-11 22:50:59 +0000 Any hope of this being fixed in 4.8.5, or is 4.9 the next release anyway? 1264835 10 adaptee 2012-06-12 03:19:37 +0000 *** Bug 301668 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1264872 11 annma 2012-06-12 08:42:04 +0000 Darin it works on KDE 4.9 beta, it's only in KDE 4.8 that it is broken and we did not schedule any further 4.8 releases. 1269671 12 notmart 2012-06-25 09:27:02 +0000 yes, i can confirm it's fixed with 4.9 beta and master, so reopen only if appears again in the 4.9 series 1271824 13 adaptee 2012-07-02 18:16:18 +0000 *** Bug 302914 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1273720 14 adaptee 2012-07-07 00:41:39 +0000 *** Bug 303132 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1277838 15 kde 2012-07-21 09:41:39 +0000 *** Bug 303874 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1285874 16 rickstockton 2012-08-18 00:57:23 +0000 (In reply to comment #12) > yes, i can confirm it's fixed with 4.9 beta and master, so reopen only if > appears again in the 4.9 series Marco, this bug (and the recently closed Duplicates) are with regard to 4.8.x, with x > 1 (not 4.9). Do we plan a 4.8.6? If so, I'd like to re-open and take this myself. I broke it, so I fix it. 1290017 17 rickstockton 2012-08-22 16:07:07 +0000 I have a fix, but it has limitations. (Basically, the MVC "Controller" doesn't know where you _were_ when you press an arrow key - it can only pay attention to what is "visible", and it makes flakey guesses about sending your arrow into the "correct" view. IMO, bad design, and a more complete fix becomes something of a re-design.) I hope that you consider these 'rules' to be minor issues. The following two rules apply under the fix I have written - #1: To ENTER or LEAVE from the Search "data entry" field (after you have pressed "Key_Enter" or "Key_Return" to provoke the search results" panel of matching applications), you press "Key_Tab". But, in order to get your cursor back into the Search "data entry" field, to modify your search, you will usually have to press the Tab key twice. (Hint for rule #2: Upon most istances of the pressing the Tab Key, your search data text will highlighted - and easy to delete all at once, by simply pressing "Key_Delete" while your text is in highlighted state.) #2: If you do not wish to choose frrm any your search results, and wish to see one of the "Category Tabs" instead (e.g. "Applications", "Recently Used", etc.): You must "clear away" all of the characters in the search data entry data field. This rule applies whenever the "Category Tabs" are not visible - even in the situation where your "search results" are an empty panel! Press Key_Tab until your search data entry text is Highlighted, and then press Key_Delete. The Applications Category will re-appear. 1290019 18 rickstockton 2012-08-22 16:10:42 +0000 I am about to put the fix onto the 4.8 branch. But, since KDE has no plans to create a 4.8.6 "Release", it will become a "Downstream" issue -- you will need to have your Distro Packagers create a "4.8.5-n", or build yourself. 1290115 19 rickstockton 2012-08-22 20:14:10 +0000 (In reply to comment #17) > I have a fix, but it has limitations. (Basically, the MVC "Controller"....) Let me make that more simple: The Up/Down arrows will work for moving around within an Applications View (or a search results view which shows more than one program). In SOME situations, Key_Down or Key_Up IS capable of moving between view -- But for moving to the Search Bar, and to/from the search bar results, Qt::Key_Tab (new feature) is the keystroke which ALWAYS works. Within a view: Arrow keys. Between views: Tab Key. 1291498 20 rickstockton 2012-08-25 05:40:30 +0000 https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106125/ for 4.9 1291500 21 rickstockton 2012-08-25 05:42:24 +0000 https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106123/ for 4.8 1293173 22 gregor 2012-08-31 06:41:54 +0000 Git commit a97173bbce9085e5df7f9a22601300c50e84b030 by Gregor Tätzner.

The trick by holding down the shift key and press a cursor key also doesn't work anymore. 1302606 26 rickstockton 2012-10-03 17:36:13 +0000 Claudio, is there a reason why you can't use the "tab" key for this function? That's the new workaround/fix. Don't forget, you might need to press "tab" more than once. Behavior varies, depending on where you are in the GUI.) 1302618 27 holo-doc 2012-10-03 18:31:01 +0000 Hi Rick OK I didn't know that it's now working with the TAB key (it didn't in 4.8.X and 4.9.1). I tried it now but it's not as comfortable as before: e.g.: I want to open Synaptic Package Manager (Kubuntu) I open the K Menu enter "syna" ( 3 entries are found and displayed in the following order: synaptiks, Synaptic, Touchpad settings). Up to 4.9.1: Now I press 2x the down arrow key (1. to select synaptiks and 2. for Synaptic) and Enter to start the software. Since 4.9.2: Now I have to press TAB (synaptiks is selected), arrow down (for some reason it ignores the Synaptic entry and jumps to the 3. entry in the list "Touchpad Configuration") and arrow up key to finally get to "Synaptic" and start it with Enter. So at the moment I have to press 3 different keys (TAB, down, up) to go where I want instead to 2x the same key (down, down). In Krunner it's still working as before btw (maybe I should be using Krunner more *g* ). 1302887 28 bvitnik 2012-10-04 12:59:15 +0000 I can confirm what Claudio said. It kills productivity and is just plain annoying. I was not aware that this bug was discussed here so I reported it as bug 307823.
