Public bug reported:
I've (finally) started trying to use the Dash for targeted searches,
like weather or dictionary. I'd like to be able to drive this entirely
by the keyboard, but it doesn't work quite right. For example:
1. tap super key to launch dash
2. quickly type 'define: stuff'. After a small delay (it would be nice if it
was faster here) I see-- "Reference", a big heart (why a heart?) and "stuff:
definition"
3. once the big heart is highlighted by navigating via combinations of Tab and
arrow keys, if I press 'Enter', the browser is opened. This is different than
if I click on the heart, which give me the scope results in the dash
4. if I click the big heart, and go back to the keyboard I cannot make the
definition in the dash scroll via keyboard navigation
This makes the Dash less useful than it could be. Eg:
* if I am using a specific scope (ie, 'define: someword') and there is only one
result, it seems like we should just show the content of the search in that
result without having to click on the icon for the scope (ie, I type 'define:
stuff', press Enter and see the definition)
* for '3', I think this is a bug-- 'Enter' on the highlighted scope should
advance to the scope's result (in this case, the definition) and then I can use
keyboard navigation to highlight 'View' and press 'Enter' to launch the browser
* for '4', I would expect PgUp and PgDown to work and/or Up/Down arrows
