Select entry row when typing in EntryView

[3k2]

in Keepass on windows if you click in the program any entry you have and just start typing example "go" it will highlight entry named google I'd love to have this behaviour in keepassxc on linux. When I do the same in keepassxc it will highlight the entry "go" starting but to select it properly you have to click or use arrow keys to navigate one down or up then back to the entry you originally wanted in first place.

Do you mean outside of a search? As in you have an entry selected in the list and just start typing.

Yeah, exactly outside of search. In keepass if you do that it properly highlights the entry but in keepassxc it highlights the entry by those outlines but not properly until you press arrow down or up.

The fix for this might also apply to #1876

As an alternative it would be great to use TAB button to focus search results

Press down arrow

I already know that and I used it as my only options.
But as my fingers are on my home row I wanted to find an ergonomic way to do it.
And reaching for the arrows is not ergonomic. And I liked how keepass2 allowed to use TAB to select it.

Ideally I would like to have something emacs-like Ctrl+N and Ctrl+P. Which would act as up/down arrows.

Actually, sorry TAB does work... as long as you are using a recent version of KeePassXC (2.6.0+). SHIFT+TAB as well. Also F3!
