I can confirm that it doesn't do that presently. Sending to krb as a feature request.

Just documenting some previous observations in this bug: It is inconsistent that right arrow would move the focus within the Omnibox pop-up. If the cursor were in the middle of the Omnibox text and the user hit right arrow until it reached the end, and then saw focus change somewhere else, that would be quite unexpected.

Additionally, what would the user expect left arrow to do at this point? Unfocus the button or (as I believe it should) move the cursor within the Omnibox?

Yeah, those are good questions. Let's discuss further in person.

On further reflection, I'm back to thinking we can't do this. Not without time to think deeper about how to do it nand try it out and iterate on how it works.

We could *maybe* put the button in the up/down arrow order. That's a lot more straightforward.

Back to emilyschechter for thoughts on this.

I don't think up/down makes sense contextually for users and it would be more confusing. We can discuss this at the OB sync today.

Re c#3, I think left arrow would first unfocus, then move within omnibox.

krb has a WIP CL to add this behavior.

[omnibox] Left/right arrow keys focus tab switch button

Left and right arrow keys currently move the cursor within the Omnibox
(text field). (Up and down change the selected suggestion.) This change
allows the right arrow key to focus the tab switch button when the
cursor is already at the end of the text field (and there is a tab
switch button on the selected line ready to be focused.)

[omnibox] Clean up arrow key handling

I missed a call to new function SelectionAtEnd(), and new function
could be implemented in a manner more consistent with the rest of
the file.

Able to reproduce the issue on build without fix #68.0.3440.84 using Windows 7 as per comment #0.

Verified the fix on Mac 10.13.3,Windows 7 and Ubuntu 17.10 as per comment#0 on chrome version #70.0.3537.0.
Attaching screen cast for reference.
Observed that in the suggestion box when the cursor is at the end of the test row and right arrow from keyboard is clicked it highlightes 'Switch to Open Tab'.
Hence, the fix is working as expected.
Adding the verified labels.

Thanks...!!
