Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
Although, once you start tabbing in Synaptic Package Manager (0.62.5) (9.10)
and you SHIFT-TAB from the main left-sidebar listing,
and you press either/only the UP-ARROW or the LEFT-ARROW keys,
the cursor-blinking-prompt-thing (finally) shows up,
then you can finally start entering your quick search tag/term.
(You can also get to the Quick search field by tabbing twice from the 'Get
Screenshot' button,
when a package is selected, and holding the LEFT-ARROW key or pressing the
DOWN-ARROW a couple times, then it disappears.)
Also, once in the Quick Search field,
pressing DOWN or UP (arrow keys) takes you 'out' of the field and somewhere
else along the bar/field?
Pressing DOWN you only then have to press UP-ARROW once to make it appear in
the field again,
and pressing the UP-ARROW once you press the DOWN-ARROW to get back. Plus
however
many times you press UP-ARROW, you have to press the DOWN-ARROW twice to get
'back in' the field.
This moving around isn't too annoying, just something that probably should act
more like, let's say, Evolution...
...in-terms of the movement through the keyboard, yes. Thanks for reading!
