How can I move through folder? #1

Closed mpagels closed 1 year ago

mpagels commented 1 year ago

I can not move through the folder/file tree on the left side. Is this intended, or did I misunderstand the purpose of the app?

Like in this image, I can not move the yellow bar with the arrow keys. example

You can click on the directory tree to navigate it completely with your mouse. Once you click on it you can use your arrow keys too.

Here's a quick screen recording using both the mouse and arrow keys. Once you are clicked into the file tree and using your arrows, you can also use the enter key to select a file. Hopefully it helps :)

Ah okay. Thanks for taking the time to prepare a screen recording. Really appreciate it. For me, it is not working. But maybe because I use Fluent Terminal to access my WSL on Windows? Do you know something about it?

Oh bummer. I'm not exactly sure. The app is built with Textual - I searched through their issues for WSL / Fluent issues but haven't seen anything. I'd be interested to know if you have the same issue with the Windows Terminal

I just read this in the textual docs

All Linux distros come with a terminal emulator that can run Textual apps.

So I tried the ubuntu terminal, that comes with the installation on windows and here it works very well. So it seems, that it is indeed a Fluent Terminal issue.

Ok, I found it! Haha, super stupid from my side. I have to tab into it. I tried the obvious and pushed every button on my keyword and after typing the tab key, it worked. The mouse is unfortunately not recognized, even after the tab trick. But this is not an issue for me.

I will close the issue. Thanks for the help.
