[FileTypes] can't get to Long description field using tab key.

Can't use tab key to get to the Long description field FileTypes.

fLongDescriptionView misses the B_NAVIGABLE flag on initialisation, but it was maybe intentional as when focused in the text view, hitting tab produces a tab in the text. One can use command-tab in this case though.

So do we want it B_NAVIGABLE or not? that is the question :)

[axeld]

I guess it's less confusing to make it navigable. Maybe we could even filter out tabs in the text view and let it navigate instead, since there is little reason to have tabs in the description :-)

[aldeck]

Should it be done by overriding KeyDown and "eating" Tab or is there a clever way?

[stippi]

No/Yes. You make a subclass from BTextView. In MySubClass::KeyDown() you check for bytes[0] == B_TAB and then just call through BView::KeyDown(). For everything else, you just call BTextView::KeyDown().

[aldeck]

Ok, will do! Thanks for the hints stippi, that's what i had in mind, although i didn't think about passing the tab to BView::KeyDown :)
