Description
The Sugar UI should be 100% navigable without using a mouse.
Besides being an accessibility issue, it's important for quick navigation, especially for users stuck with a broken XO touchpads.
Some proposed changes:
- Favorites view
- Search should be enabled in the shell view
- A caret should appear when the user starts to type
- Non-matching activities should be grayed out
- TAB should cycle through possible completions
- Cursor keys should cycle through the icons
- Journal
- Cursor up/down should scroll a caret on the list
- ENTER should open the selected item (Linux/Windows style)
- Rename item: TBD (just type something?)
- Go to proprieties: TBD (cursor right?)
- Change volume: TBD
- Unmount all hot pluggable devices: TBD
- Activities list view
- Should behave like the journal
- Network Neighborhood
- Similar to favorites view
- Toolbars
- There should be a key to move the focus to the toolbars (Alt-space?)
Partial fixes for this bug would be very welcome.
