Feature Request: Choose directory (F1/F2) with cursor keys

I hope it is a simple request and I have the feeling it worked before. But now it does not. If I press "F1" to search for a directory/ harddisk and then start typing - nimble commander finds all the devices in which the phrase appears.

For example. I Have 6 harddisk named : Foto_1, Foto_2, Foto_3, Foto_4, 8TB_1_Foto, 8TB_2_Foto If I type "8TB", nimble commander shows me the last 2 devices.

Now the request: I would like to choose the second device "8TB_2_Foto", JUST by pressing the "Cursor DOWN" key.

That does not work. Would it be possible to implement that feature?

Regards

Yes, I noticed too that the „Arrow down“ key doesn’t work anymore, also when trying to select a location from the favorites list

I'm writing a replacement component to not rely on the behaviour of NSMenu at all. Stay tuned :)

New UI, currently in a branch https://github.com/mikekazakov/nimble-commander/tree/gh187, close to be merged into Main:

The same component is used for quick lists, which are going to be expanded soon:

Fixed, please check the nightly builds.
