Keepassxc: Tab from the search text box does not jump to results

[roded]

Expected Behavior

In previous versions (<2.4?) after typing into the search text box and pressing TAB, focus would jump to the search results section allowing to Ctrl+C an entry directly.

Current Behavior

The tab focus order now seems to be:

1. Search text box
2. Group tree
3. Search results

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open KeePassXC
2. Ctrl+F to focus on the search text box
3. Type a string which would return at least a single result
4. Press TAB
5. The group tree is focused instead of the search results.

Context

Most of my interaction with KeePassXC is done via searching for an entry and copying its password. This change of behavior has added a couple of extra key strokes to this flow.

The tab ordering is a bit messed up, you have to press it three times. You can just press down arrow to get directly to the search results.

@droidmonkey, down arrow works. I'll change my muscle memory to that.
Thanks.

I am fixing the tab order for 2.4.1, forgot to do it before.

Related in terms of UX: Would be great if also pressing return inside the search box just moves forward. It makes no sense apply return to an unselected item. (I hit return by default in search boxes and I am always suprised by the effect in KeePassXC)

Is this still an issue?

[droidmonkey]

Yes it is, but I strongly believe it to be a Qt bug because I cannot fix it no matter what I do with tab ordering in code.
