I agree, there was a point when it was a bug and pressing down once did not indicate where the cursor is, but for a while now it has highlighted the "Applications" bar.
The problem with your mockup comes in when you have multiple programs found that require to be expanded. You can't have the applications expand where files are, it must be kept separate. I have a very simple solution to this problem. Navigate application and file icons with the arrow keys and navigate to the title bars with TAB. It's already cycling through them when you hit tab, so why not just disable arrow keys from navigating to the title bars? So type f in the dash, whole bunch of apps, files and music comes up. one arrow key down takes you to the first found application, another down arrow takes you to the first found file, next down arrow takes you to the first found song. Similarly, typing f in the dash and then hitting TAB takes you to the applications title bar, pressing enter reveals more options, hitting arrow down takes you to the expanded list of found apps. Hitting tab again takes you to Files and again takes you to Music So NEVER navigate title bars with arrows and only navigate them with tab. Solves all issues as far as I can see and reduces tapping of keys. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870404 Title: When navigating Dash by keyboard, sometimes titles with no function are incorrectly focused To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/870404/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
