Keyboard shortcuts for navigation (Alt + arrow keys) do not work in in-app file browser #1236

Open vikasnataraja opened 4 years ago

vikasnataraja commented 4 years ago

Prerequisites

Describe the bug

The Alt + left_arrow and Alt + right_arrow keys to go back and forth from a folder do not work in the in-app file browser.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to any app, do something to open the file browser from within the app
  2. Click on any of the directories you have
  3. Use Alt+left_arrow to go back
  4. See error (nothing happens)

Expected behavior

The Alt + left_arrow and Alt + right_arrow keys definitely work in the regular Files app as expected to navigate between directories but should also work in the in-app file browser in a similar fashion.

This is a sub-issue of #129 although it could probably be fixed ad hoc in the existing chooser.

Ctrl + L used to work in the in-app file browser, now it doesnt.

A fix is unlikely to be approved prior to development of the filechooser portal.
