Everything 1.5 Alpha • Re: 1370: Cut / Paste bug

The focus goes to the next item in the same position. (as expected)

i suppose focus /is/ "there"
but it is not "set", per se
so while you can do some actions
other actions you cannot

you can; <sp> to provide (/set/) focus, FAYT to find something, setting focus
click-the mouse into the Results List to provide focus,
use arrow-keys to provide focus

you cannot Paste - without doing something like above, first
you cannot CUT - without doing some like above, first

so focus is "there", but not "set"
not "set" - even if <sp> would provide focus "to the next item" in the list


if focus were "set" you could do any of the above - including CUT & Paste


now, in some circumstances it is apparent what is going on,
but when you're doing the same sort of actions time & time again,
& then, all of a sudden, the next time you go to perform that
very same action - just as you had a moment before,
& that action suddenly fails, you're left wondering - why?


& if focus is "there", on that next item in the results list,
then why not "set" it there, too?
