Bug ID: 440888
Summary: Search+Replace tab key jumps to editor window so you
never reach "replace"
Product: kate
Version: 20.12.2
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: diese-a...@funzt-halt.net
Target Milestone: ---
When you try to search&replace something using the keyboard, after typing the
replacement, when you hit tab to go to the actual "Replace" buttons, the focus
jumps first to the Mode field (which is totally ok) and then into the editor,
where you end up editing the document rather than performing the actual
search&replace you were after.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hit CTRL+r to open the search/replace panel.
2. Type some search keyword, hit tab. Type the replacement.
3. Now hit tab until the "Replace" or "Replace all" buttons become highlighted
so that you can perform the search&replace.
OBSERVED RESULT
After the second time you press tab, you've ended up in the editor where you
now deleted your selection and you're happily inserting tabs or spaces.
EXPECTED RESULT
* After a few times, the "Replace" or "Replace All" buttons should be focused
so that I can actually perform the purpose of this panel.
* Under no circumstances should tab bring me back to the editor (that's what
ESC is for), because once focus ends up there, pressing tab is actually
descructive to the document.
