The behavior of the sidebar and the message window are different: 1. Sidebar: If the tab has focus, so not the content-area of the tab, then tab-browsing with the arrow-left-key or the arrow-right-key is possible. Message-window: If the tab has focus, so not the content-area of the tab, then tab-browsing with an arrow-key is not possible. 2. Sidebar: If the tab has focus, so not the content-area of the tab, I can put the content-area of the tab in focus by pressing 1x the arrow-down-key. Message-window: If the tab has focus, so not the content-area of the tab, I can not put the content-area of the tab in focus by pressing 1x an arrow-key. The common behavior of sidebar and message window is: When clicking on a tab-title, it can be – under certain conditions –, that the content-area of the tab is in focus. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3961#issuecomment-2385385614 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
