    <thetext>***
Up to few versions ago it was possible to navigate through the emojis and select them using the keyboard arrows.

Now, it does not work. Only the TAB works, thus, with the keyboard is only possible to select the category.

    <thetext>For me, the focus is there, but it&apos;s just not visualized by anything. Moving with arrow keys selects an emoji, and pressing enter copies one. But user can&apos;t see which one it is.</thetext>

True that. For me too but didn&apos;t notice before. Good catch.</thetext>

    <thetext>It&apos;s not entirely true. If I first use the search to narrow things down, then using the cursor keys only moves the cursor in the search bar. Hitting tab once or twice leaves me in &quot;where the heck is my focus now!?&quot; land.</thetext>

    <thetext>Git commit e28b89a7e76c414a602e06965b2ae5a414a748e4 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Akseli Lahtinen.
Committed on 27/08/2024 at 15:11.
Pushed by ngraham into branch &apos;master&apos;.

emojier: Use ItemDelegate for emojiLabel highlight

The bug was not that the focus didn&apos;t work, it was that the focus was
not indicated properly.

Using ItemDelegate for emojiLabel lets us use the default highlighting
across all the delegates. We then turn the highlight on with
`GridView.isCurrentItem`.
FIXED-IN: 6.1.5

Are you using Union? I seem to get the focus stuck in the side bar with union, but with desktop style, tab cycles through everything as usual.</thetext>

No, just straight up Breeze across the entire board on Plasma 6.7.1 - Manjaro(unstable) hasn&apos;t added the union package just yet.</thetext>

    <thetext>Huh, with git master, my experience is like Gio&apos;s: tab focus gets stuck outside of the grid view. This happens with both qqc2-desktop-style and Union for me.

But that means it&apos;s a different issue; this one was about a visual-only issue; this one is functional. Can you open a new bug report about it?</thetext>

I&apos;m really not sure what the difference is, or why it matters. (a user isn&apos;t going to know WHY the gridview isn&apos;t getting focus) 
But given when I experienced this for the second time, I reported it, and my issue was closed as a duplicate of *this* issue. Should I maybe reopen that one? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487250</thetext>

    <thetext>Actually I was wrong; the current issue I was experience was indeed just visual issue, not functional. I was thinking that tab focus was stuck outside of the view… because of the visual issue!

However I can only reproduce it with the Union theme. with qqc2-desktop-style, it&apos;s fine.

Which means my issue is a different one from the one fixed here. I have opened Bug 522860 to track that.</thetext>
