Feature request: Arrow navigation
Closed this issue · 2 comments
When using arrows to navigate the emoji in a category, clicking Right from the rightmost emoji in a row does not move the selection to the leftmost emoji in the following row, and vice versa. A tiny thing, but maybe worth considering.
When launching the app, the cursor starts in the Search field, and only Arrow Down has a function. To get to the first of the Recent emoji, one has to press Arrow Down to get to the emoji, and then use arrow keys to navigate from there. I suggest allowing Arrow Right to also move the selection to the first emoji, meaning getting from Launch to 2nd Recent Emoji is simply Right + Right. Once text is entered in the search field, functionality of Arrow Right needs to revert to moving the cursor in the search field.
This was already discussed here: #133
@tom-james-watson to be fair, #133 is about arrow navigation within the Emoji grid, not among all of Emote's UI elements; this matches the first paragraph of this issue, but not the second one.
If @nightgolfer edits this issue to be only about the second suggestion, I would propose that it be reopened for discussion about that particular feature.
