I'm enjoying the good work you did on KDE-Telepathy, thanks! Every day is showing its usefulness. This bug is kind of related to those bugs that complained that chats should be opened with a single click (I know you said no; no question with that). It is possible to go over the contacts using the keyboard right now; i.e., using Tab and the arrow keys to navigate them. However, once you position the focus on a specific contact, there is no way (AFAIK) of initiating a chat with such contact other than clicking on the mouse. IMHO there should be a way of initiating chats via the keyboard. Enter is the obvious key here, but as Martin had explained on the discussion over the single/double click, accidentally opening chats is a valid concern. Perhaps Ctrl + Enter maybe...? anyway, the issue here is the lack of a proper way of starting chats with a keyboard. Thanks and happy 2013. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Navigate the contact list with the keyboard 2. Try to initiate a chat with the keyboard. 3. Nothing happens. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: There should be a shortcut (maybe Enter or Ctrl-Enter) for opening chats.
Thanks, good suggestion! Actually in this case pressing Enter wouldn't be that bad because you have already navigated with the keyboard all the way there, it's a different situation than for example navigating the laptop's touchpad and accidentally clicking it. If David's fine with this idea, I'll get it done for 0.6.
I am.
