Description Nate Graham 2019-05-14 14:05:55 UTC 
I cannot find a way to move keyboard focus to the left sidebar. Pressing tab in the search field does nothing when I expect it to move focus to the top-most item in the sidebar.
Comment 1 Aleix Pol 2019-10-07 16:28:31 UTC 
What are you trying to do?
It should work pressing Alt+underlined letter.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2019-10-07 16:36:19 UTC 
I'm trying to move *focus* by using the tab key. This is important for accessibility and screen readers.

Comment 4 Marco Martin 2019-10-24 12:08:18 UTC 
this is an upstream Qt bug
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-79501

luckily there is an (ugly) workaround
Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2019-11-21 15:53:52 UTC 
The Qt bug referenced in comment 4 was fixed. Can this be marked resolved?
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2019-11-21 15:59:36 UTC 
Can't test since the fix only made it into Qt 5.15 which isn't released yet and I don't have a built-from-source Qt.
