i think it makes perfect sense, though to be honest i think there is much more needed - like full keyboard control ability in elementary. right now it effectively has none. or close to none. no focus changing ability etc. etc. this would be a case where genlist itself should be handling such events and hilighting the appropriate item. one thing i know we need to do is something better than just "tab & shift+tab" for focusing prev/next item. we need to 1. provide a way to give a linear list of focusable objects so the above works in the best possible way (the most logical one). 2. we need up/down/left/right to actually focus the closest widget in that direction. eg if the currently focused widget is a button - thse will find the closest widget geometrically.if its a list left/right do this, up/down select in the list.. UNTIL the last or first items are reached, then focus jumps out of the list to the closes geometric object. one other thing needed is a "focus overlay" object. this is a native element of a window object. it is on a high layer (eg 10000) and will move to be over the focused object and be the size of the focused object/widget (for a list the list outside scroller will be focused but individual items would hilight as they do now). this would just be some edje that u emit signals to when a new object is focused. resize/move it and animate the moving/sizing so its nice. and this object would fade away/hide when the window loses focus. this way this can be an optional element. for pure touchscreen devices you don't want it. for others you do. > Hi guys, > > in Enna, I use elementary since a while now, and I have a little > problem that I would like to fix.
