Allow keyboard-only execution of WITH RENAME / COPY / CANCEL from Copy Dialog without touching mouse
- Feature Request
"Geeqie 1.5.1"
From Fedora Project repositories
Fedora 32 KDE Plasma 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks 5.70.0 Qt 5.14.2 Kernel 5.7.12-200.fc32_x86_64
Copy dialog has no keyboard capability to move from destination path input box to 'COPY' button. Tab does not move focus from input box. This requires movement from keyboard to mouse to select 'COPY' button. Please enable keyboard movement from path input box to 'COPY' button so mouse need not be involved.
Invoke Copy Dialog with keyboard (e.g., function assigned to F7). Input or select from list a destination path in input box. At this point there is no way to move to "WITH RENAME / COPY / CANCEL' buttons to execute choice using the keyboard. One must select the button using the mouse. This is bad.
This problem exists in Geeqie in general - using the keyboard to move between panes is really unclear.
It should be possible to set a focus chain (but gtk_container_set_focus_chain() is deprecated...).
Edited to include:
return will execute the default option - either copy or rename.
esc will cancel the operation.
Thank you caclark!
I can't believe I didn't even try RETURN. Actually I can believe it, but it is not a flattering moment of cognizance.
Anyway, it works.
Maybe this can be left as an open feature request. The focus chain is on my "list-of-things-to-do-that-will-never-get done". Actually, the unclear focus chain of the main window does annoy me.
