[Bug 792767] Re: When typing an application's name in the Dash, there is no visual cue that focus is on the first item in the list
It should be a design bug. Adding a default focus to the first candidate while the UI focus is the input box isn't really technically easy to implement. But it's absolutely necessary to implement that, when I use gnome 3 shell to do application search the first candidate is focused by default. For any developer who wants to fix this, gnome 3 implementation is a good start, I think. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792767 Title: When typing an application's name in the Dash, there is no visual cue that focus is on the first item in the list To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/792767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Marking this bug 'won't fix' because when a user is typing the focus is on the search box. When they press the 'down' cursor key, the focus then moves to the Category Header (not yet landed, but will be in Unity by feature freeze). Pressing return to access the first search result is a useful shortcut, but adding a default focus to the *second* row of the Dash (category header is the first row) doesn't really work with having a single canvas for focus based keyboard navigation where the search box is the start point. This will be more apparent when all the keyboard navigation improvements that andyrock is working on lands. ** Changed in: ayatana-design Status: New = Won't Fix ** Changed in: unity Status: Confirmed = Invalid ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792767 Title: When typing an application's name in the Dash, there is no visual cue that focus is on the first item in the list To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/792767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also aggree with frederik.nnaji, this is certainly a bug - there's no good reason why it shouldnt be highlighted and very good reasons why it shoud be. Hitting return and nothing happening is the expected behaviour if nothing is highlighted, when the thing is highlighted by clicking down and hitting return you get the expected behaviour of the app launching. ** Changed in: unity Status: Incomplete = Confirmed ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792767 Title: When typing an application's name in the Dash, there is no visual cue that focus is on the first item in the list To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/792767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I agree to frederik.nnaji that this is a design bug. I compare that to the Windows 7 start menu, where the first matching item is selected and highlighted on search. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792767 Title: When typing an application's name in the Dash, there is no visual cue that focus is on the first item in the list To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/792767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

+1 on adding some indication that pressing enter will launch the first application listed; the current situation (in oneiric at least) is really confusing. It would be good to not use exactly the same indication as when you select it with the arrow keys though, because that would be confusing too... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792767 Title: When typing an application's name in the Dash, there is no visual cue that focus is on the first item in the list To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/792767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

i don't agree, imo this is a flaw i.e. a bug in how the dash works. perhaps it's a design bug, interaction design that is. if an item has focus, it should indicate that to the user. the current behaviour is that the respective item does not indicate whether or not it is focused, unless spacially navigated to via mouse or keyboard. This makes interaction slower, uncertain. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792767 Title: When typing an application's name in the Dash, there is no visual cue that focus is on the first item in the list To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/792767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
