Arrow key behavior when multiple files are selected/focused |
||||
Issue descriptionChrome Version: 63.0.3223.0 9976.0.0 Caroline What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Start with multiple files selected or in focus (2) Use the arrow keys to go up or down What is the expected result? If the user presses up arrow, the file above the top selected/focused file gets focus. If the user presses the down arrow the file below the bottom selected/focused file gets focus. What happens instead? A seemingly random file somewhere in the middle gets focus.

It actually is not random. On UP/DOWN key, the previous/next index of the last selected item's index (which is called 'lead index') will be focused. This behavior is common in file managers in other platforms. Please reopen this if the expected behavior is not working, or we should change the expected behavior.

Thanks for the clarification Fukino-san. It felt random to me because I didn't understand that the lead index was the chronologically last selected file. I think it be good to change that to the last file in the list instead. This is what MacOS does but I'm not sure about windows. I'm re-opening for that change.

The Finder.app on macOS(10.12.6) has the same behavior with us (i.e. the lead index is the chronologically last selected file). Could you double check?

Oh I'm sorry you are totally right. I thought for sure that I tested this thoroughly. I will discuss with weifangsun@ and see how we want to move forward.

Marking WontFix(WAI) for now. mcirimele@, feel free to reopen this (or file a new one) if we should change the current behavior. Thanks! |
