Description Li Yuan 2008-07-30 04:27:04 UTC 
Users can not expand or collapse the tree view by keyboard.
Comment 1 John Carr 2008-07-31 10:42:01 UTC 
After asking around, I was told that +, - and * are supported for expanding and collapsing the treeview by the keyboard and that these are built in to the GtkTreeView. I can confirm these actions work with Conduit already.

For me that sucks, though all the treeviews i found are inconsistent. They generally support the + - *, but some also have a Enter and Space that toggle the expanded/collapsed state... Do you want me to implement this?
Comment 2 Willie Walker 2008-07-31 15:49:00 UTC 
Ugh - right.  I've been used to expanding/collapsing tree items using the arrow keys, and bug #53580 looks like it might have set things up for this purpose.  Looking at bug #105895, however, it seems as though it might be restricted to just +/- now.  No matter what, this is a rat's nest infested with strong opinions. :-)

My Google search for GNOME tree traversal mechanisms seems to consistently lead to +/- being the documented approach whereas left/right come up only spuriously.  So, if +/- work, then I think this bug can be closed, but Li's the best person to verify this.
Comment 3 Li Yuan 2008-07-31 17:09:48 UTC 
I tried to expand/collapse the tree view by pressing enter and space. I think we can close this bug now. Sorry for confusion.
