Concerning asl.library version 53.49:
The file requesters seem alright as long as the directory isn't changed. After you do change it, be it by clicks or typing, the enter and escape keys no longer work. Though 'rcommand k' does work for cancel.
Sure, it's intended for pointing devices but I think this main function should not cease to work without one.

Re: asl filerequest keyboard input
Try to activate the File input field. Keyboard control of the list only works while the cursor is in the file field.

Re: asl filerequest keyboard input
For me any action I take in the file / drawers lister reactivates the file gadget except pressing tab which cycles through the pattern, direcory and file gadgets Pressing return in either of the first two those then reactivayes the filegadget and a further return completes the requester.
If this does not work for Thematic, then a precise blow by blow description of how to 'break it' would be useful for creating a bug report.

Well, if I enter a directory into the directory field and press enter, the highlight bar does still move by the cursor keys. Typing more will not do anything, enter will not do anything.thomasrapp wrote:Try to activate the File input field. Keyboard control of the list only works while the cursor is in the file field.
Iow. I cannot activate the file field by keyboard, except by moving the pointer.
The other requesters on asl seem to be fine and do not obfuscate the focal point (what is going on).

Re: asl filerequest keyboard input
Whe I do this immediatly on pressing enter the file gadget activates and takes input. Typing pressing return and arrow keys all work.Well, if I enter a directory into the directory field and press enter,
Please detail all your actions step by step from the very start (including which program you started from which directories you tried to browse etc.
Re: asl filerequest keyboard input
EDIT
One example: "multiview" from the current Shell. .shift tab. to the middle inputfield. Directory on a boot time mounted SFS\02 volume entered on keyboard. One .enter. press. And that's about it.
EDIT: Oh wow. I just tried tab without shift (one more keypress, yes) and it works as expected!
And if I do use shift, I apparently can cycle it forwards from the file field to pattern field to directory field and it will work, too (as many keypresses as that will take, two at least).
The possibility of user error does raise its head.broadblues wrote: Please detail all your actions step by step from the very start (including which program you started from which directories you tried to browse etc.

Re: asl filerequest keyboard input
okay shift tabbing to get to the directory gadget then return does leave all gadgets inactive, so abug there for sure.
Shall report that. Work arround for the moment is to tab forwards rather than backwards....

Re: asl filerequest keyboard input
Bug alreday report as 9223 but the reported missed the SHIFT TAB subtletly in their description, hence it remained unconfirmed.
Re: asl filerequest keyboard input
Yeah, thanks. When in OP I said "by clicks" I most likely based this on having pressed shift and tab and only then clicking.
