Summary0000490: Problem with keyboard navigation in the plugins list on the instruments tab
Description

On the "Instruments" tab, when using the arrow keys to move up/down in the list of VST plugins, the "Plugin Manager" dialog automatically opens and receives keyboard focus when you navigate over an empty slot. This makes it somewhat more difficult to select a plugin since every time the "Plugin Manager" opens, I have to navigate back to the list to give it focus. I don't know if this is intended behavior, but I would appreciate it if this could be changed.

TagsNo tags attached.

Well, it's intended behaviour for mouse navigation, but I cannot distinguish between mouse and keyboard selection there... Hard to come up with a clever solution that would both satisfy mouse and keyboard users.

Would it be possible to have the dialog open after keyboard focus moves away from the list or would that affect mouse navigation as well? It is slightly inconvenient, but if you can't think of a solution that works don't sweat it.

Windows doesn't distinguish between keyboard and mouse focus, that's the problem.

I've tried a very basic hack that works as long as the mouse is never being used to open the plugin list (which I assume is true for you). In that case, the auto-dialog feature shouldn't kick in. You can download an updated executable from the plugin bridge thread.

Seems to work fine. Thanks again.
