Ferdi: Quick Switch doesn't really work as advertised

Created on 13 Aug 2020  Â·  3Comments  Â·  Source: getferdi/ferdi

Bug description:
"Select a service with TAB, ↑, ↓" doesn't work ...
seems only in apps that use those keys, e.g., Gmail, Whatsapp.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to Gmail
  2. Type Cmd-S
  3. Press ↑, ↓, tab
  4. You can see stuff happening in Gmail ... not in the quick switcher.

Also, esc & enter don't work either ... only click on 'X' will close the switcher.

MacOS 10.14.6
Ferdi 5.5.0 (5.5.0.2116)

Same for me, happens on gmail, telegram, slack & other services.

Duplicate of #322.

This is a known bug which we unfortunately cannot fix: Electron does not allow Ferdi to focus the box if the focus is currently inside a webview.
