--- Comment #11 from al F <pub...@mellomrommet.no> ---
Apologies for going slightly off topic, but after reading through many of the
reports regarding the new kickoff launcher, comment 5 above sums it up for me:
I like and care for Plasma, but I'm not creating a new report. This thread
looks like the closest place where someone might listen:
To me the legacy kickoff is perfect, because there is consistency:
right/left/up/down to navigate the menus, enter to activate. There are no dead
ends, when you reach the last item next arrow wraps to start.
Thus, to shut down: SUPER > LEFT > UP > ENTER
To last item in favorite list: SUPER > UP > ENTER
Because of this consistency I find the legacy kickoff launcher very intuitive
and the best start menu I have ever used, be it Windows, Mac or any Linux.
While the new is still good, it is a step down, because now:
To shut down: SUPER > DOWN > RIGHT > RIGHT > SPACE (ENTER for some strange
reason highlights first item in favorite list?)
To last item in favorite list: SUPER > RIGHT > RIGHT > RIGHT > ENTER or SPACE
It gets worse if you want to navigate categories by keyboard:
To see Help Center: SUPER > LEFT > DOWN > DOWN > DOWN > DOWN > DOWN > DOWN >
DOWN > DOWN > DOWN > DOWN > DOWN > DOWN > SPACE (ENTER does nothing here).
So dear devs: please do also look into keyboard navigation of the (new)
launcher.
