Search followed by cursor down key

[Sergei Gerasenko]

Hi everybody,

I've noticed that when I search for something and a pop up appears listing the matches, I can't use the keyboard to select the entry I want. I have to use the mouse. Is there a workaround for that?

Thanks!

That would be really neat. ;-(

What you can do is hit the tab button 4 times to take you to the first item. Then hit tab again until you come to the item you want.

Have fun,
Mark

Thanks, Mark. Didn't realize about the Tab, but obviously that's less than optimal. Nevertheless, thank you for the reply.

Actually, I can live with this. It’s better than nothing. Once on the desired entry though, ESC doesn’t remove the search popup. But this is minor too.

Sergie,

Perhaps you could code a hot key to equal tab tab tab tab if you need this a lot.

Eg AutoHotKey on Windows

Tony,

I could come up with something like that (though I'm on a Mac). But it's probably not too hard to implement natively? Just curious.

Thanks,

Sergei,

I agree, I was playing with it myself since you raised it, and what seem odd to me is I can not see where the focus goes on tab1 tab2 tab3 and it appears in the search list on tab4. I suspect the order of elements on the page is doing something funny, or the search results list is not becoming next area for some reason.

Regards
Tony

Hi Tony,

I do see the focus on each tab. Must be some differences in our setups. Which browser are you on? I’m using Chrome.

Thanks,

  Sergei

[TonyM]

I am on Firefox, I can't see the focus but see now that the focus steps across the icons to the right of the the search entry.

I could not find how to alter the order as they appear because that would be a quick way of reducing the tabs, if you putt the search box on the right.

Regards
Tony

Hi all,

Riz asked me to post this link for everybody though I don’t know who Riz is, so do be careful:

Thanks,

==============================================

Google seems to be hating me today a bit too much - deleted 5 of my attempts to post a reply to your thread. Anyway, here is what you were looking for

Since I am effectively banned from the group, may be you can post the link to the thread if it worked for you.

Both are entirely possible. Since the first four tab presses are stolen by the buttons next to search field, you need to push them out of focus, which requires an attribute not yet officially available in button widget. So I modified the button widget itself and tweaked the search results to permit that.

As for escape key removing search results, this can be made possible by wrapping the search results with an keyboard widget with appropriate actions. I assume you would also want to clear out the search field on pressing escape. 

The attached json has the tiddlers with the said changes.

1. Back up your TW (Seriously, you really do not want to regret trusting a stranger on Internet.)
2. Drag and drop the attached JSON to your TW
3. Refresh [Will not take effect until you refresh]
4. Test the tab and escape.

 Thanks for posting it. For reasons unknown, I was being marked as spam. The obvious question would be, did it work for you?
