Description Maciej Bendkowski CLA 2014-11-06 07:48:33 EST
Issues:

1. In order to use the keyboard navigation I have to click an item (folder or file) first. As a result, after opening the project view it's impossible to navigate outside the main project node using the keyboard only.

2. It's impossible to dive into a project view, as by clicking on a project folder. Hitting enter will simply expand the tree view.

3. There's no quick way of switching focus between the editor and the navigator. I'm forced to use the mouse or hit tab until I get to a navigator item.

4. I can't navigate through menus like "File", "Edit", "View" using "<-" and "->" keyboard keys - I have to use Tab.
