Attachments: Enable keyboard selection of a session in the applet

Description Conrad Hoffmann 2009-08-12 11:49:52 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

The Kate session applet can be configured to pop up via a keyboard shortcut and the listed session can be navigated via the up and down arrow keys. Yet, a session can not be started by means of using the keyboard, a mouse click is currently required.

Enable keyboard selection of a session in the applet

The attached patch fixes the problem by using the QTreeView::activated signal instead of the clicked signal. This also elegantly handles the single/double click issue.

The path is rather trivial. I compiled and installed it on my system and it behaves as expected. Notably, it still obeys the system wide single/double click setting.

I have commit access myself, but anyone feeling responsible for this can feel free to commit.

I sent a mail to kwrite-devel about this 2 days ago, but it's still awaiting moderator approval, so sorry if the issue pops up again. I'm just too impatient :)
