Improve keyboard navigation

pressing Tab twice will do the trick ;), once for the popup window, once for the input

Hey @drtebi, thanks for your feedback, I've implemented most of your suggestions.

The only one I'm not sure about is one aspect of the Home/End changes.

Right now the way I have it set up is if either of those keys are pressed, the focus jumps to the end of the tab list regardless of whether the search input is active or not, but Home/End keys are also used to jump to the end of a line.

If the search input is active I'm thinking maybe it shouldn't skip to the end of the tablist, but should jump the cursor to the end of the search input instead.

Curious to hear your thoughts on this.

Hi,

you are completely right, if the focus is on the search box, then Home and End should work with the text (e.g. move the cursor within the text box accordingly).

If focus is on the list, then Home and End would be nice to work as a "jump" to the top and bottom of the list.

Basically... it should be easy and quick to use the plugin without a mouse... :)

+1 for "no mouse"
what I am missing is the ability to ctrl+shift+f and then start typing in the search box
I am looking to switch to FF - I am using Quick Tabs in Chrome

Thanks, I should have made it like that from the start. I'm having some issues with my PC at the moment. I'll push this change as soon as the issues are resolved.

@ciufudean

Did this break for you recently? If not, this sounds like #13 and will be fixed in a near-future Firefox update.

[ciufudean]

Nope, it is the first time I've installed the extension

Ah ok @ciufudean, it should be fixed by Firefox 60. In the meantime, try pressing Tab as soon as you open the popup window. That should focus the search input immediately.
