This was already fixed in 5.22. Now the "edit" button is focusable with the tab key, just like you would expect. So you tab-focus it, hit the spacebar, and then you can type a name. The "Add" button is also tab-focusable. Well, what you're saying in comment #1 is true, however I think it would be much more usable with the keyboard shortcuts. From my perspective, the biggest pain when editing desktop names is, it requires a lot of clicking, especially on smaller buttons like the "edit" icon, remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts%27s_law . So to me, not being a professional StarCraft 2 player, it seems like the faster and easiest way to edit a desktop's name would be to 1. Click on a line (fast because I don't really need to aim with the mouse on the X-axis) 2. Press F2 3. Use keyboard to edit the name 4. Press Enter. UPD: I've just discovered I can double-click on a line to start editing. It might be really hard to discover for new users though. We can add more shortcuts, sure. Please open a new bug report for that. :) Created https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441626. Thanks! |
