Chromium, Firefox & Thunderbird all support both CTRL + TAB as well as CTRL + PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN. I was leaning towards CTRL + TAB because in a unscientific straw poll this seemed to be the most frequently requested option, and also some laptops (e.g. those from Apple) do not have PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN keys. To compare ourselves to the competition, Apple use CTRL + TAB in Safari on OS X, and on Windows both CTRL + TAB and CTRL + PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN are supported.
As long as there is no conflict with other functionality we could support both (in the same manner as Windows), as it is likely that different sets of users will be already used to one or the other of the options, and this is the approach already taken by our main applications. ** Description changed: Dash - update Dash keyboard shortcuts so the 'CTRL + TAB' switches between Lenses and 'TAB' by itself moves the focus between categories. Requested change: - - When the Dash is open, CTRL + TAB should switch the user between lenses. - - When the Dash is open, TAB should jump the keyboard focus between the search result category headers and (if the search filters are open) between the "All" button at the top of each search filter category header. - If no item on the dash is currently in focus, pressing TAB should focus the top category header. - - If a item is already focused, pressing TAB should focus the next category header below. - - If the item focused is either in the last search result category header, or (if the search filters are open), a button under the last search filter category header, pressing TAB should jump the focus back to the first search result category header. + - When the Dash is open, "CTRL + TAB" and "CTRL + PAGEUP" should switch the user between lenses, in a left to right order. + - When the Dash is open, "CTRL + SHIFT + TAB" and "CTRL + PAGEDOWN" should switch the user between lenses, in a right to left order. + - When the Dash is open, TAB should jump the keyboard focus between the search result category headers and (if the search filters are open) between the "All" button at the top of each search filter category header. + - If no item on the dash is currently in focus, pressing TAB should focus the top category header. + - If a item is already focused, pressing TAB should focus the next category header below. + - If the item focused is either in the last search result category header, or (if the search filters are open), a button under the last search filter category header, pressing TAB should jump the focus back to the first search result category header. - If the search filters are open and the a item in the last search result category header is selected, pressing TAB should focus the "All" button to the right of the top search filter category header. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891648 Title: Dash - update Dash keyboard shortcuts so the 'CTRL + TAB' switches between Lenses and 'TAB' by itself moves the focus between categories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/891648/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
