Bug ID: 424990
Summary: Tab key changes focus from field with Automatic and
Short Automatic completion rather than completing
current path
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.72.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: URL navigator
Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: carmanau...@gmail.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The Tab key behaviour with the Automatic and Short Automatic completion options
does not work as expected, moving the focus from the editable location bar,
rather than completing the path.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start typing an existing path and be presented with the with some faded
completion text, e.g. using '/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org' will present
either the first sub-directory ('org.kde.desktopcontainment' for me) for
Automatic completion or the shortened common path ('org.kde.') for Short
Automatic completion.
2. Press the Tab key to accept the completion.
OBSERVED RESULT
Pressing the Tab key completes the path entry as per the completion, but moves
the focus from the location bar.
EXPECTED RESULT
Pressing the Tab key completes the path entry as per the completion and the
focus stays in the location bar. A subsequent press of the Tab key would then
move the focus out of the location bar.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.19
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.72.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It is still possible to use the End key here, but this requires more movement
away from the home row when typing than using the Tab key does. My expectation
for what happens here comes from a combination of familiarity with shell-style
completion and previous use of Nautilus for some of the path editing behaviour
(the behaviour is consistent in other GTK based file managers as well).
