Bug Description
Version: Linux Mint 18.3
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open up any directory in nemo with at least a few files in it.
2) Make sure you are in "List View" (change to it if necessary).
3) Use the up/down keys to change the highlighted file.
4) Click on one of the column headers to change the sorting order.
5) Press up or down.
What happened:
Nothing. As far as I can tell, pressing those keys has absolutely no impact on the display or the computer whatsoever.
What I expected to happen:
I expected the highlighted file to change like it normally changes when you use the up/down keys.
I can consistently reproduce this on my computer. This is NOT new to Mint 18.3, I noticed this a while ago.

This happens because by clicking a column you've focused the column (It does this so they can be re-ordered.) The key navigation is fine, you just need to click in the view to re-focus it.
