Description Rokas Kupstys 2019-05-05 09:06:42 UTC

When filtered view presents multiple files we are unable to quickly select and open desired file because pressing up/down arrow keys does not change file selection. To select appropriate file we must use mouse to focus file list. It would be extremely convenient if we could use keyboard to select needed file.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press /
2. Enter query that results in more than one file visible
3. Press up/down arrow keys

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
Selected file in file list should change.

This makes the most sense in a list view, where the up and down arrow keys can be used to select any file. In icons view, it makes less sense since the left and right arrow keys are required for navigation there, but those need to be used in the filter text field for text editing. I suppose we could add a special non-optimal icon view navigation mode where the up and down arrow keys go left and right instead, and take advantage of the fact that left and right wrap aroung to the next/previous rows.
