Keep the focus in message entry
Last modified: 2013-10-12 10:30:51 UTC
if I click on a channel on the left panel, the focus should stay at the typing entry.
Created attachment 257067 [details] [review] mainWindow: Try harder to keep focus on the main entry In general, we want the keyboard focus to remain on the main entry so users don't have to explicitly focus it to write a message. The only exceptions are: - focusing a different entry (nick entry, user list filter in the future) - using keynav Unfortunately many widgets will grab the keyboard focus when activated, and making them unfocusable would break accessibility. So resort to a hack which forces focus back to the entry unless we detect one of the exceptions above.
Attachment 257067 [details] pushed as 5a50f25 - mainWindow: Try harder to keep focus on the main entry It works reasonably well in testing, so let's go with this for now.
