Created attachment 156403 [details] Open file error , while using keyboard Hit CTRL + I to invoke Quick search. Type "Open file" in it. Use arrow keys to select "Open File..." result in "Actions" section and hit enter. Now file dialog will open, If you want to move one step above , it will open the file selected. 1. Select a file , ( in the screen shot i selected mysettings.xml) 2. Then use tab key to navigate to (move up ) , Then press enter Our intention is to move up but the file is opened.
Mouse click working however enter key not working
Isnt' that actually the expected behavior? - ENTER key assigned to the default action in the UI which is OK button in this case, and SPACE key to be used for elements with tab focus?
This is as designed. As you can see on the screenshot, "Open" button was selected as default button in the "Open" dialog so if you press "Enter" key it will invoke its actionPerformed() method. BTW, if you want to go up when the "Go up" button has focus, hit "Space" not "Enter".
Thank you both for the input. I agree with what you say. This is as designed so closing this one. Thank you for reporting.
