Version: 2.5.0 (using KDE 4.7.4) OS: Linux In bug #114465 there have been mentioned two small wishes, which might have been missed in the overwhelming amount of comments. Since that bug is large enough and I don't want to revive the dead for minor tweaks, I start this new bug report. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: A) There is no keyboard shortcut, to focus the input-field. See Bug #114465 comment #126. B) Bug #114465 comment #47 suggests to rename the text displayed in the input-field. Since you can create new tags with this input-field AND assign existing tags, it should be renamed from "Enter new tag here..." to - "Enter tags here..." or - "Enter new / assign existing tag here..." (this text fits in, even at minimum sidebar width) I've been fooled be this "wrong text" quite some time, which led to missing this great mouse-less tagging technique!
A) We could add an action which shows the sidebar and focuses the text box. Suggestions for default shortcut? B) I'd go for the shorter text. Even if English is short enough, other languages may not.
Marcel, I tried in the pass (Qt3 implementation) to use a keyboard shortcut to take focus into comment field form Caption & Tags side bar, but without a focus proxy mechanism, it's not possible, because after to take focus in right place in sidebar, it leave and pass focus to icon view. Look the story here for details : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131632 I don't check if this behavior still valid with Qt4. Gilles Caulier
Tag keyboard shortcuts mechanism have been introduced with 3.x serie Gilles Caulier
