If we need to navigate to next folder, we need to tab through the panes and got focus back on the folder list. If we navigate speed is fast enough, focus will not switch other pane. But it will not help much for disability. We cannot require the disabilities to navigate the folder list quickly. How do a blind, for example, navigate through the folder list with AT-App? If he is using gnopernicus. Before he find what folders in the folder list are, the focus switch maybe already made he feel frustrated.So, let me see if I understand. Your concern is that switching focus away from the folder list after a folder has been selected (current behavior) can be frustrating to users because: a. it requires them to press the <tab> key several times to get back to the folder list, and b. it makes them feel like they are not in control of Evolution (since focus changed without their explicit request) Are those your main concerns? Am I missing anything? We trying to minimize the side effect of modification. For users who alreadySo we suggested focus should not change when keyboard navigate to a folder. Mouse click on a folder may cause focus change to the right pane, as outlook does.In this case, what do you see as being the advantage of switching the focus to the right pane (after a folder is selected with the mouse)? If your proposed changes are made, then focus will be in different places post-selecting a folder, depending on how you selected the folder. Is this (apparent inconsistency in behaviors) useful? familiar with mouse click and focus switch, he can just keep this habit. As ettore said in another mail, this number of kind user maybe vast. So we only affect users who just use keyboard to navigate through folder list. Thank you in advance for helping me to understand your thoughts and concerns about this. best, Anna |
