Broken shortcuts in file panels

App	Panel	Alt+H	Alt+D	Alt+Up	Alt+W	Esc-close	Esc-reset-filtering
Pe	Open	ok	ok	ok	ok	ok	* * *

Filer	Open	*	*	ok	ok	ok	* * *

* works after clicking into the file list or moving the selection with the cursor keys (even though file list had the blue focus border already)

* * Esc hides all files of the list

* * * Closes the panel instead of resetting the type-ahead-filtering

So, with the patches there's quite an improvement. I'd appreciate if someone more familiar with the Tracker code could look at the code changes and apply the patch.

The focus issues marked with * are a bit puzzling...
What should be improved is the ESC behaviour when the type-ahead filter is active. Then, the ESC should only reset/deactivate the filter. Currently that closes the panel right away (* * *).

According to #15148, Alt+Q does not work either.

After hrev58282 Alt+H stopped woking.

Alt+H goes to Home dir on hrev58282 for me... can you give me better instructions on where it broke for you/how to reproduce?

This was VMware Fusion intercepting this shortcut, false alarm :)

Now that #13151 is fixed, what is left to do on this ticket?

The focus issues with ALT+H and ALT+D (the "*" in the ticket's table) would be nice to have solved. Both shortcuts seem to work after changing directories. (Also make sure no file is selected or ALT+D duplicates it, ofc.)

Also - others may disagree - I like to have ESC cancel/close the window. Basically for all non-main, non-document windows like alerts, file panels, possibly settings windows... pretty much anything with a Cancel button.
