When navigating a search result with the arrow keys, Kicker's results for "Applications" require pressing the Down arrow on the keyboard twice to move down the list. Also, pressing the "→" button will not move to the other lists (like "Desktop search") until you press another arrow key.
Can confirm. Likely needs the same fix we applied to KRunner to fix this problem there (https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-workspace.git/commit/?id=b8ffa755ed2df6bf6a47b9268e7da93355a4d856)
Weird, I recall fixing this before. I guess it regressed again. Will look into it.
I can't reproduce this. Nate, could you give me exact steps?
Nvm, I reproduce a problem with arrow-down handling and also the column issue. Looking into it atm.
Git commit 1692ae244bc5229df78df2d5ba2e76418362cb50 by Eike Hein. Committed on 06/09/2018 at 09:43. Pushed by hein into branch 'Plasma/5.12'. Improve arrow key navigation of Kicker search results Summary: Kicker already makes sure the first search result is highlighted and actionable while searching. This patch makes arrow-down after typing move to the second search result instead of merely moving focus from the search field to the list, so the user doesn't have to press arrow-down twice anymore. It also allows using arrow-left/right to jump to the other result columns, when the cursor is at the start or end of the text field, respectively.

These fixes will be in the next 5.12.x, 5.13.x and the 5.14 releases.
Cheers!
(In reply to Eike Hein from comment #6) > These fixes will be in the next 5.12.x, 5.13.x and the 5.14 releases. 5.13 has had its final point release, but maybe this is worth cherry picking?
