SUMMARY
> The new versions of the Clipboard and Network widgets can now be navigated with just your keyboard.

I opened Clipboard and I hovered my mouse the first item, now using arrows Up and Down I was able to navigate in list, great. Only when I press Tab this stopped work (I needed to close and open again the Clipboard to to able to navigate again). Seems focus went somewhere and didn't want to back. When I pressed Tab couple time I was able to navigate by keyboard again. I use Plasma Style calling: "Plasma Relax" and here there is not showing any frame on buttons present in top of Clipboard widget when I press Tab.
If I closed Clipboard and opened it again, in Search field cursor didn't blink, whereas I expected this, only I could still navigate by keyboard (Del removed entry) on list. Seems close and oped doesn't reset it.

When I pressed arrow Right (cursors was blinking in Search field), then all disappeared, but fortunately arrow Left made that all back.

I don't know if I can invoke any option by any shortcut for clipboard entry, because there is no any information about that in Clipboard widget, even in tool tip when I hover proper button there is no shown any shortcut, so how can I to find out if this is possible?

Keyboard navigation works here in the normal way it does elsewhere:
- Tab moves focus between items
- Spacebar presses the highlighted control
- Up/down arrow keys move focus between list items

In addition, the left and right arrow keys move focus between the inline buttons of the selected list item. That's a convenience thing and it's the only nonstandard thing we do here.

Then there is a bug in your Plasma theme, and I would recommend that you contact the theme author about it.
