           Summary: Add keyboard input support in docks (e.g. find-in-files)
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 3.4.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: victor.dods gmail com


Version:           3.4.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Most of the docks don't accept any sort of keyboard input, which forces the user to \
move his/her hand to the mouse and click away.  The "file selector" and "replace" \
docks do support keyboard input and are therefore the most effective (for \
keyboard-inclined people).  Because there are keyboard shortcuts available to \
show/hide the docks, they should be navigable and usable completely via the keyboard.

In particular, the following docks don't respond to keyboard input once focused:
- Find in Files
- Messages
- Ctags
- Problems

There are likely others which I don't personally use.

It seems it wouldn't be too hard to add simple up/down navigation to these \
listbox-type windows, with the enter or space key being equivalent to a left \
mouseclick.
