When creating a new file from a template using the meatballs menu, the view is not focused, keyboard shortcuts cannot be used
With version 46 / nightly:
- Ensure you have some files in your
XDG_TEMPLATES_HOME
directory (i.e.~/Templates
) - In any folder in listview, click the meatballs (…) menu in the location bar at the top
- Click
New Document >
and select one of your template files
Result: the file gets created in the view, and is "apparently" selected in blue, but the view does not get the focus, so:
- You cannot rename directly with
F2
(but ideally it should prompt you directly to rename, #524) - You cannot use the Up/Down arrow keys to navigate
- You cannot delete it directly with
Delete
, orCtrl+X
to cut it - There is no clear way to get the focus there with the keyboard, without clicking
I wonder if this bug could also be an explanation for #2887 ?
However, this bug does not affect version 45.2.1, only version 46. It affects both the list view and the grid view.
