SUMMARY With legacy Kickoff, the last search result was selected when up arrow was pressed. However, the new Kickoff does not behave in the same way. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. do a search with two or more results 2. try to select the last search result by pressing up arrow 3. OBSERVED RESULT it's impossible to select the last search result by pressing up arrow EXPECTED RESULT we can select the last search result by pressing up arrow, like with legacy kickoff SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Good idea!
Uhm, though this shouldn't bee to hard to implement, I'd like to push a bit against this. By implementing this, we make it really easy to jump directly to something that's (a) very likely out of screen, (b) the least relevant element in the search. I don't think this would be a common action and I fear that it might be taken by mistake (pressing up instead of down), and it wouldn't be immediately obvious how to get back to the first element in such a scenario.
Well, this is currently implemented in Milou's standard result view and if we switch to that I'm definitively not going to make Kickoff inconsistent. I'm still a bit worried though.
