Description fwilly 2009-02-06 08:46:31 UTC
Version:           1.2.80 (using 4.2.61 (KDE 4.2.61 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090127)), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-gentoo-r1

It is not very good to use dolphin per keyboard only. This is a problem for many gui applications. But here any ideas to make it a little bit easyer to use.

The filter bar is open, I have filtered the view with any search string and the focus is still in the input field.

In this case special keys should be have other meaning:

- <Ctrl+A> should be not select the search string. It should be select all entries in the view. To select the search string I can use <shif+pos1>. Now I must first use <shift+tab> to navigate to view.

- <arrow up> or <arrow down> should be also navigate in the view. This keys are not usefull in the filter bar.

- <return> should be go into current folder in the view. This key is also not usefull in the filter bar.

- When the filter bar has the focus <Esc> now close the bar. This ok. Is it
possible to close the filter bar (and clear the filter) with <Esc> when the
view has the focus?

Another request: Please prevent the filter bar from being focussed when starting dolphin.

SVN commit 1072868 by ppenz:

- When the filterbar has been activated as startup setting, still the view should get the keyboard focus.

- Assure that the keyboard focus does not get lost when a tab is opened in background.

@fwilly is this still an issue? It seems to work as described now.
