--- Comment #6 from Nikita Melnichenko <nikita+...@melnichenko.name> ---
(In reply to S-trace from comment #5)

I agree with S-trace that the current behavior is slightly inconsistent. As a
developer, I totally understand Alex's concern about text field behavior
expectation, however from user point of view my daily usage pattern has been
disrupted. For example, whenever I want to navigate to the dir
data/projects/wdirs/krusader I simply press

d > p r > w > k r >

After the change I have to press

d Esc > p r Esc > w Esc > k r Esc >

As you see, the number of keystrokes has significantly increased. If I
accidentally mistyped, I simply use Backspace and no problem.

Arrow navigation is one of the most powerful features in Krusader. I hope we
can keep it this way. I also encourage the devs to consider different variants
as S-trace suggested. Personally, I'm for #3 as it seems like it's reflecting
user's intentions - for quick navigation simply press right arrow and go,
however if the user pressed left arrow at least once, he/she wants to edit the
search expression and accidental right arrow in the end won't spoil his/her
efforts. It's also simple to implement with 2 states - initial A and text
editing B. Start with A, switch to B whenever left arrow is pressed.
