Bug ID: 506881
Summary: Typing on a physical keyboard while in the file open
dialog won't jump to the respective file
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-mobile
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: postmarketOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Typing on a physical keyboard while in the file open dialog won't jump to the
respective file. This makes navigating large folders quickly almost impossible,
especially when a physical keyboard is connected that would usually make this
fast (and 99% of today's phones support bluetooth keyboards to be used e.g. on
the train while perhaps even using docked mode).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the file dialog to open a file in any application that will default to
the KDE desktop portal dialog
2. Type the start of a filename that is found in the folder you're currently
looking at, but out of view
3. Wait for the file to be selected
OBSERVED RESULT
File isn't selected, view doesn't scroll to file of which the name was typed.
EXPECTED RESULT
File of which name was typed is selected and brought into view, like it is on
the regular plasma desktop file dialog.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: postmarketOS Edge based on Alpine Edge
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I find it weird that the plasma mobile dialog is a different one to start with.
The regular desktop dialog can't do touch scroll but can do this file name
quick jump typing, for the mobile one it's the reverse. Perhaps it would be
more productive to make one unified dialog that is responsive for various
screen sizes and which can do both? Sorry if I'm missing something here and
this isn't a useful suggestion.
