    • fixes a visual bug described in #14577
    • improves UX by enabling moving focus through fields using keyboard (Tab and Shift+Tab as usual) on Overview tab of the main window and on Info tab of the Debug window (other tabs leaved untouched as tab order for them seems a bit entangled). Inspired by laanwj’s #14577 (comment)

    The only downside with this is, that you can’t select parts of the text of a label.
  6. laanwj commented at 12:43 pm on December 13, 2018: member
    @jonasschnelli Yeah. Possibly we’re getting too deep in shed-painting territory here. I’ll leave the decision what to do here up to you.
  7. jonasschnelli commented at 7:29 pm on December 13, 2018: contributor
    More opinions, tests would be welcome.

    @jonasschnelli @laanwj

    The only downside with this is, that you can’t select parts of the text of a label.

    That has been made intentionally. Rationale: some labels are modified by setText() and any user selected text will vanish. In such circumstances, only two options are consistent: all-selected or none-selected. To make a focused label clearly visible to a user the former option has been chosen.

    @promag @Sjors would you mind reviewing this PR?
  15. promag commented at 5:06 pm on January 21, 2019: member
    @hebasto sure, on my list now.
  16. Sjors commented at 6:32 pm on January 21, 2019: member

    Concept ACK.

    Unfortunately this is a bit difficult to fully test on macOS because the menu keyboard shortcuts don’t work (#13832), so you need the mouse for most navigation anyway.

    I’m confused why forms/overviewpage.ui is modified; what’s the point of being able to focus on the amounts? Is it so they’re easier to copy-paste? Or is it an accessibility feature?

    I was already able to navigate through the peer list. Now with this change I can select and copy individual items.

    When I tab through the Send screen, it only goes through Pay to, label, amount, [nothing] and then the balance field.

    On the receive screen it skips the BTC dropdown field, the payment request button and the erase button. I can go through the list of historical payment request, but I can’t access their view and delete buttons.

    On the transactions page I can’t access the the three filter dropdowns (on the left), and also not the Export button.

    I also can’t reach the wallet switcher.

    @Sjors Thank you for your review and valuable input.

    I’m confused why forms/overviewpage.ui is modified; what’s the point of being able to focus on the amounts? Is it so they’re easier to copy-paste? Or is it an accessibility feature?

    Yes, it is an accessibility feature mostly. Ref: #14577 (comment).

    All others points will be addressed soon.

    In that case, is there a way to trigger the tooltip by keyboard too?

    Just wondering if changing to QLineEdit with readOnly=true makes sense? At least visually it’s clear?

    BTW I’ve noticed that #12616 no longer works.

    Tested this again and the lack of ability to select parts of an amount label (say the amount without the unit BTC) makes me NACK this as it is now.

    @promag

    This approach does not work for me (background color issues), see #17898.

    BTW I’ve noticed that #12616 no longer works.

    Fixed in the latest push.

    @hebasto thanks for trying my suggestion in #17898. Will try and review both.

    It seems possible. This could be addresses in a follow up PR ;)

    I’m unsure if it is worth customising the label based on mouse events to achieve tabbing thought labels. Also, on macOS, the selected color is different and almost not seeable.

    This fix is replaced by #19210.

    • improves UX by enabling moving focus through fields using keyboard (Tab and Shift+Tab as usual) on Overview tab of the main window and on Info tab of the Debug window (other tabs leaved untouched as tab order for them seems a bit entangled).

    I’m unsure if it is worth customising the label based on mouse events to achieve tabbing thought labels. Also, on macOS, the selected color is different and almost not seeable.

    I have some ideas how to get the keyboard-only UX but not going to work on it right now. So closing this PR.

    Please label it “Up for grabs” :)
