Not possible to navigate using keyboard after search focus

[radmen]

Problem

Qian seems to be focused strongly on using keyboard.
Yet I find it really annoying that it's not possible to select file with arrows or even change directory with Cmd+UP/Cmd+LEFT/Cmd+RIGHT.

I've tried to unfocus search by hitting Tab key however it didn't fix anything.
Mentioned shortcuts work only when I click somewhere on the file listing

What I expect

I think that navigation shortcuts should work even if search bar is focused.

More informations (for example, specific context or steps to reproduce)

• focus on search bar using [Tab]
• type something
• open directory using / key
• try to go back using Cmd-LEFT

Actually, Qian does not allow "the selection" of a file. (It is in my milestone). So the goal of CMD+left|right is only to navigate in the history. It is a little bit sad, but those shortcuts does not works when the searchbar is focused.

I will write an hotfix to "unfocus" the search field when Qian performs a directory change.

Thanks for your feedback !

Yeah, it's bit frustrating however for me it's enough that shortcuts for opening the first result will work :)

It's not possible to catch those shortcuts when search is focused?

(I think it is a first step :), what do you think about this ?)

Actually, I have change the shortcuts

is there defined anywhere list of those shortcuts? Seems like the ones from README are not working anymore.

[radmen]

ah, silly me. Found them! Can confirm that those shortcuts work.

They seem to be bit unintuitive, yet I'll give them try.
