Description Frederik Gladhorn 2014-07-09 10:37:31 UTC 
Assigning kicker a shortcut (eg ALT-F1 to replace kickoff) works nicely to open the menu.
But when triggering the shortcut the keyboard focus does not move to the menu, for example the arrow keys have no effect and typing doesn't search.
Otherwise kicker does a pretty good job with focus handling and at least starting applications using only the keyboard and a screen reader works decently.

Reproducible: Always

Duplicate of bug 335538 ?

Unfortunately yes.

@Keyboard stuff: Nice to hear! I tried to pay attention to keyboard behavior. Can't reach favorites with the keyboard yet though.

Eike: yes, I actually have a patch that let's you use the tab key for that purpose, it's relatively easy - it just sets the activeFocusOnTab property.

Sweet! Put it up on review board, it's sadly too late for 5.0 now but we'll tackle it soon.
