Use left/right arrows to navigate in minicard view
Last modified: 2016-02-22 17:02:15 UTC
In the Address Cards view, navigation by the keyboard is limited to single-stepping through the cards using the Up and Down arrow keys. It would be great if the Right and Left arrow keys allowed horizontal traversing of the list.
Right and left arrows are now (1.2) bound to tab and shift-tab. This looks to me very counterintuitive . On most UI designs right and left arrows expected behavior is to navigate within a single widget/widget objects. I agree with Miles. Can someone make a decision on this?
still valid in evolution1.5-2.0.1.0.200410061620-0.snap.ximian.8.1. if i push the left arrow the component buttons get focussed. to me this is definitely not expected behaviour.
atill valid in 2.3.5.1

I guess that the patch needs more rework. Like Left/Right should move horizontally and not follow same as UP/DOWN.
removing old target milestone.
Bumping version to a stable release.
