As a user, I can launch a result’s URL and move through quick-access search with the keyboard, so that I open a login with fewer clicks
Q1. What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Quick-access already enables to open a credential’s URL in one click, but only after opening the entry via a mouse click. Niether the suggested nor search result entries allow to quickly navigate or fillout.
All entries are also mouse-interaction only (no keyboard navigation). This adds unnecessary steps to one of the most common actions in the extension.
It is solved when opening a searched credential’s URL is a single action from the result row, and the whole search, choose, launch path can work without the mouse.
Q2 - Who is impacted?
Most everyday quick-access users. Keyboard and accessibility users gain the most, since the results become reachable by tab order instead of the mouse alone.
Q3 - Why is it important and/or urgent?
Not urgent. A small, backwards-compatible quality-of-life change that removes friction on a heavily used path and improves keyboard accessibility.
Q4 - What is your proposed solution? (optional)
Two small additions to the search results:
- add the same “Open in new tab” icon on each result that already exists in the suggested list
- keyboard navigation through results by tab order
We have a working implementation with tests for both the extension and the styleguide (PR #268 and #56), happy to rebase onto whichever branch you prefer.
Happy to answer any question you might have.
Best
Mike
