folder history combobox :: no keyboard navigation
Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 6:03 pm
atop of FileList pane a combobox with folder history list is placed.
- It is accessible only via mouse point-n-click - no way to activate it via keyboard.
- When the combobox has keyboard focus (text insertion cursor blinks there), it responds to a standard Windows keystroke (Alt-Down) to unroll the list, however it's impossible to select items 3,4,5,... with a keyboard (Down arrow key), because as soon as item#2 is selected it is immediately loaded in FileList browser.
- Alt-Down (or any other key) to activate it from the FileList pane and unroll immediately.
- Allow keyboard navigation through the unrolled list, either requiring an Enter key to load the folder or introduce a delayed loading (20-50ms) to allow fast navigation (e.g. repeated Down arrow keypresses). Of course if Enter key is pressed the keyboard focus should go to the FileList pane.
