Indeed. What about only grabing the focus when the user presses enter on
that list? Currently, pressing enter will just reload the folder, it
seems.

This way we have the focus working as it should when clicking, and the
user is still able to browse the folders list with the keyboard, but you
have a way of telling evo to change the focus without using the mouse or
loads of tab key presses.

What do you think? I still could not find how to implement this, though.

Thanks,
