            Bug ID: 315554
           Summary: [USABILITY] Akregator should switch keryboard focus to
                    the browser window once a tab is selected
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: akregator
           Version: 4.10.0
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: internal browser
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: msx at archlinux.us

While I do use the mouse for a lot of mundane tasks I'm a heavy keyboard user
and indeed I prefer to use the keyboard anywhere I can because it's faster and
it put a lot less of strain to wrists.

An actual problem of Akregator is that it keeps to focus the feeds list windows
when  a tab is clicked so there's a need of an extra TAB key press to be able
to browse the article in the browser window with the arrow keys.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a feed in a tab and wait it to load.
2. Try to navigate the article in the browser area with the arrow keys.
3.
Actual Results:  
Not only you won't be able to do that but even if you use the <left> and
<right> keys you will be taken back to the feeds list which actually have the
keyboard focus.

You will need to first remember to tap the TAB key in order to shift window
focus to the browser area.

Expected Results:  
Once a tab is selected you should be able to browse the opened article with the
<up> and <down> arrows.

For a heavy Akregator user to use the keyboard as much as possible is a *must*.

Thanks for this great KDE feed reader!
