Triggered auto assignment to Contributor-plus team member for initial proposal review - @alitoshmatov (External)

Proposal

from: @unicorndev-727

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Highlighted item (default first one) with Up&Down keys is opened instead of blue bordered item which is selected with Tab key

What is the root cause of that problem?

The root cause is that the pressOnEnter is set on Confirm button and it's priority is 1 so when we click enter, the button is pressed first with highlighted item.

App/src/components/OptionsSelector/BaseOptionsSelector.js

Lines 656 to 662 in 414c08c

	<Button
	success
	style={[this.props.themeStyles.w100]}
	text={defaultConfirmButtonText}
	onPress={this.props.onConfirmSelection}
	pressOnEnter
	enterKeyEventListenerPriority={1}

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

we need to adjust button's priority here or can change the default item when we select other item using tab.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

• Web - Search - Selected dropdown item with tab key is not opened in Search

What is the root cause of that problem?

• We're selecting the row based on highlighted item, and we don't consider the blue focus one
  

  App/src/components/OptionsSelector/BaseOptionsSelector.js

  Lines 302 to 325 in 1682be4

  	selectFocusedOption() {
  	const focusedOption = this.state.allOptions[this.state.focusedIndex];
  	if (!focusedOption || !this.props.isFocused) {
  	return;
  	}
  	if (this.props.canSelectMultipleOptions) {
  	this.selectRow(focusedOption);
  	} else if (!this.state.shouldDisableRowSelection) {
  	this.setState({shouldDisableRowSelection: true});
  	let result = this.selectRow(focusedOption);
  	if (!(result instanceof Promise)) {
  	result = Promise.resolve();
  	}
  	setTimeout(() => {
  	result.finally(() => {
  	this.setState({shouldDisableRowSelection: false});
  	});
  	}, 500);
  	}
  	}

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

• The idea to solve this bug was approved by C+ and internal in other issue. fix: 31635 the blue focus is not prioritized over the application highlight #32252
• Generally, we need to change the logic that we use to get focusedOption:
  

  App/src/components/OptionsSelector/BaseOptionsSelector.js

  Line 303 in 1682be4

  const focusedOption = this.state.allOptions[this.state.focusedIndex];

• Now, it only based on the this.state.focusedIndex, so if there is another option is select by tab key, we will not consider it.
• To implement the above idea:

1. Passing additional prop named keyForList to OptionRow. It will become to:

            <OptionRow
                keyForList={item.keyForList}

2. Then, pass the above keyForList props to PressableWithFeedback
   It will become to:

                    <PressableWithFeedback
                        testID={props.keyForList}

3. Finally, update the logic to get the focusedOption in here:
   

   App/src/components/OptionsSelector/BaseOptionsSelector.js

   Line 303 in 1682be4

   const focusedOption = this.state.allOptions[this.state.focusedIndex];

   
   It will become to:

const focusedItemKey = lodashGet(e, ['target', 'attributes', 'data-testid', 'value']);
        const focusedOption = focusedItemKey ? _.find(this.state.allOptions, (option) => option.keyForList === focusedItemKey) : this.state.allOptions[this.state.focusedIndex];

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

• NA
