Description krblanc 2025-03-17 15:55:53 UTC

SUMMARY
If I try to use the widget with the keyboard, navigating with arrow keys, tab or dismissing the widget with esc works, but using enter to select does not work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Add User Switcher Widget to Desktop.
2. Engage widget either via shortcut or by clicking on it with mouse.
3. Select option with arrow keys.
4. Try to choose option with Enter.

OBSERVED RESULT

 Nothing will happen. 

EXPECTED RESULT

Enter will behave as if option was clicked by mouse. E.g. I want to quicly change users by pressing shortcut, navigating with arrows and pressing enter to the selected user, to switch to that user. Since Enter does not work, it is impossible to switch user via keyboard using the Widget (or any other way as far as I am aware, switching users is not an option in shortcuts in settings).

Hello, I can confirm this.

As it were, Space bar does work to switch accounts. I'm thinking there may be a missing mapping for Enter/Return key in the widget's code adjacent to the other key mappings. 

I'll take a look at this very soon, thanks for reporting!
