Description Nicolas Ouellet-Payeur 2019-01-29 01:52:32 CET
This is a feature request. Right now, in the Windows view, it looks like we can only select a window using the mouse.

I'd like to be able to switch using only the keyboard, e.g.

1. Use arrow keys to choose a window
2. Press Enter to switch windows

Hi Nicolas,

that should be no problem because it is already possible. Just move the focus to the windows view by pressing TAB. Then you can move the focus to the desired window with the arrow keys and select (or switch to it) by pressing Enter.

At startup the focus is usually at the search box. Pressing TAB one time should move it to the windows view. If you missed it just keep pressing TAB until you focused any window. The focused element is marked with a thick blue border (if using the default theme).

I hope I could help.

Regards,
Stephan
