Server: Unable to open file or folder with keyboard

[jancborchardt]

Currently you can navigate the file list via keyboard, with 3 Tab-clicks per row:

• Folder/file itself
• Sharing that folder/file
• 3-dot menu of that folder/file

Now the problem is that pressing enter on the folder/file itself opens the right sidebar instead of opening it. We need to change it to opening, otherwise it is not possible to enter into folders or open files.

@jancborchardt didn't we said we'll add this for 15?
With the new files app?

[jancborchardt]

@skjnldsv since changing this is such a small change but a really important accessibility fix to use files at all, we should absolutely do it for 14.

I mean, I assume it’s a small change cause it’s just switching from opening sidebar to opening the file.

Of course, i would be grateful if it could be done for 14.

@tyrylu the fix is in https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/10310, if you want to review :) It will make it into Nextcloud 14! :tada:
