            Bug ID: 364933
           Summary: Cannot use cursor and certain other keys inside
                    Showfoto plugins
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.14.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Usability
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: Warp_7 at gmx.de

When editing images, I often want to use typical keys to navigate the widgets
inside the plugin interfaces. Most prominently the cursor keys, with which I
wish to alter values or step through items of a dropdown menu. Showfoto eats
those keys.

Please fix this behaviour: if there is a focused widget, it should get the full
input. Thank you.

I should mention that I set Space as a custom shortcut to display the next
image. But there are no specific actions assigned to unmodified cursor keys.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open one or more images in Showfoto. Open a plugin, for example lens
correction.
2. Switch input focus to a dropdown, e.g. camera manufacturer.
3. Use the cursor keys to select a different entry in the dropdown.

Actual Results:  
The plugin is cancelled and, depending on the pressed key (e.g. cursor
up/down), another images gets displayed. If I already made changes to the
current image, I am asked whether I want to save them.

Expected Results:  
The input should go the focused widget and evoke its standard behaviour. If no
widget is focused (because no editing tool is active), then the keys may be
used for other purposes.

I don't use KDE5/Qt5 applications yet for the most part. So I don't know
whether Digikam 5 is also affected.
