Bug ID: 455724
Summary: Kickoff should have 2 separate cursor items for mouse
and keyboard navigation
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: markovs.i.m...@gmail.com
CC: mikel5...@gmail.com, noaha...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
>From the UX perspective, navigation with keyboard and mouse are 2 different
type of things. Sharing the same cursor item between 2 different types of input
makes bugs like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455674 possible. But even
if it get fixed, there's still a situation when user hits meta, performs a
search and hits enter to run the first entry without paying attention to mouse
cursor and item selected. But if mouse cursor is placed in menu area and hovers
another search result, the enter buttons opens it instead of the first entry.
What I'm trying to say is there's no situation in real life when it's helpful
to hover search result with the mouse, but select it with enter, so hovering
search result with a mouse should never select it.
