Add proper keyboard navigation to the task list
Description
At present, the behaviour of the keyboard in the task list is that any task focussed by the keyboard automatically enters rename mode (the entry is made visible and focussed). This is clumsy and disruptive to keynav as it means there's no way just to select a task, not rename it.
Which means there seems to be no way to open the edit pane from the keyboard. We just have to focus away to get out of rename mode, then leftclick with the mouse.
I would suggest overhauling this as follows: Moving around the task list with the keyboard should not automatically start editing. It should instead just focus the row, then the user could do one of 2 things with the keyboard:
-
- Press <Magic Key 1>, e.g. F2: Rename the task.
-
- Press <Magic Key 2>, e.g. the context menu key or Shift+F10, or Enter - suggestions? - Open the edit pane.
But maybe I've just missed an obvious trick of how to do this
