Bug ID: 407214
Summary: Pressing Enter or Ctrl+Tab after typing on the filter
or search fields is not very intuitive
Product: dolphin
Version: 18.12.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org

CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using filter or search, there's no indicator that Enter is necessary to
switch focus to the directory view, unlike with browsers, krunner, kickoff and
okular.
Unlike these, however, the ability to navigate through typed text in the search
and filter fields seems to be desirable, considering the powerful nature of
Dolphin search.
Ctrl+Tab also works, but is actually more inexpected. It's typically used for
switching tabs on browsers, and Dolphin itself uses it for switching tabs
created with Ctrl+T.
Shift+Tab eventually transfers focus to the directory view, but it requires too
many presses, 3.
Tab is typically expected to switch focus to other elements in typical
keyboard-centered workflows, but is currently afflicted by

SUGGESTION
When filter or search is highlighted, aside from Enter and Ctrl+Tab, add Tab as
a key that immediately transfers focus to directory view.
