Description Bart Cerneels 2012-06-01 07:28:49 UTC
While it's possible to switch from the Content panel to the context using Tab, going back or to the playlist is not possible, focus remains with ContextView.
Fix other such issues in the 3 panels so Amarok is possible to use with only keyboard.

Note: it might be required to remove the keybinding of Left and Right keys (skip forward/back).

Reproducible: Always

While I'd love to see more special attention given to keyboard navigation in Amarok, I'd like to note that in my use case, keyboard-only use is at least possible (and I do it all the time).

I get to the Collection with CTRL+F and then tab, switch to the between the Context and Media Sources menus (which I have in tabs) with ALT+C and ALT+M, respectively. I get to the playlist similarly, with CTRL+J and then tab.

It would be cool if there were hotkeys to shift focus directly to the Playlist, like CTRL+P or something, and being able to actually navigate the whole window visually with the arrow keys and tab would be awesome. But you can already do quite a bit of playlist manipulation with only the keyboard.
