🔴 OPEN BUG: Keyboard Navigation

[Krishty]

Navigating the GUI only with the keys ← → ↑ ↓ Enter does not always work. The focus sometimes vanishes into places where the user can’t see it, especially in deeply nested dialogs like Settings.

That’s not me assuming someone in 2023 wouldn’t own a mouse – the intention is enabling joystick/gamepad keys for said navigation, so that gamers don’t need to switch from flight gear to mouse for using the menus. This is a pretty common request.

I identified three problems:

1. Somewhere in the plane control settings, focus gets lost.
    
2. If you open the version info dialog (or if the extension error dialog opens during startup) and you press Esc to close, focus to the main window will be gone. You have to click or Alt-Tab back to it.
    
3. Plane settings again: You can’t scroll the list.

1. and 2. will be fixed in the next version; not sure how to fix 3. …
