Description jimbo 2024-03-23 06:22:14 UTC

When changing the password via System Settings -> (System) Users -> Change Password, the first password entry requires that the tab button be hit twice in order to get to the confirmation password. There should only be one tab press required. It look like the Tab is moving to the hide/unhide icon, many other sites have the unhide icon but it is not focusable using tab. Maybe Ctrl+H should be used for this button instead as it's fairly default across programs to hide/unhide.

Regardless, the user expects to drop down into the next input field; not tab into the hide/unhide button.

Can confirm that it's because the eyeball button to show the password participates in the tab focus chain. Which makes logical sense, but, it's probably not what folks expect.

This bug is still present in:
Operating System: EndeavourOS 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
Qt Version: 6.10.0

I think another decent fix for this would be to draw a box around the show/hide password eye icon to indicate that's that it is selected after pressing tab. There is no indication what has focus until you hit space and see that it's the show/hide password eye icon.

ActionTextField: use standard implementation for inline action buttons

This gains us multiple benefits:

- Hover effect
- Press effect
- keyboard selection effect (important for accessibility)
- Less code
- Consistency with other unframed buttons
FIXED-IN: 6.20

ActionTextField: sync to Kirigami version

As much as we can, at least. Most diffs are import names and Plasma
theming support.
