Description Stephan Sokolow 2009-01-27 15:11:26 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.96)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

In Konqueror 3.5.x, as with other completion-offering applications like vim and zsh which offer a "cycle through completions by default" mode, Tab can be used to cycle through completions in the address bar.

However, in Konqueror 4, Tab instead switches widget focus to DolphinPart. I consider this a big step backward in usability since Tab is a strong habit, Tab is what everything else uses for completion, and the down arrow key (the only alternative I know) requires that I lift and move my right hand each time I want a completion)

I think this is the same as (or at least related to) bug 167135. What do you think ?

Well, on the plus side, at least the next person to try reporting this the way I did won't miss the correct bug because of a name they didn't think to try.
