Feature Request: Choose directory (F1/F2) with cursor keys

[Amadeus6767]

Hi,

I hope it is a simple request and I have the feeling it worked before. But now it does not.
If I press "F1" to search for a directory/ harddisk and then start typing - nimble commander finds all the devices in which the phrase appears.

For example. I Have 6 harddisk named : Foto_1, Foto_2, Foto_3, Foto_4, 8TB_1_Foto, 8TB_2_Foto
If I type "8TB", nimble commander shows me the last 2 devices.

Now the request: I would like to choose the second device "8TB_2_Foto", JUST by pressing the "Cursor DOWN" key.

That does not work. Would it be possible to implement that feature?

Regards

Hi, you are right, navigation via arrows worked in these menus but broke in Sonoma due to some internal changes in MacOS itself. I looked into the issue briefly before releasing v1.5 but wasn't able to find a way to fix it cheaply. So need to investigate it further and maybe, in the worst-case scenario, roll out a custom implementation of these filterable lists which will not be based on MacOS menus at all.
Any help is welcome, the source code is here:
