Bug Description

Sometimes the keyboard controls aren't listened to. It seems to happen if you click on the playqueue region; it seems that widget is getting focus and because of that the other widgets lose focus and *this breaks the keyboard controls*. You can always bring back the keyboard controls by clicking on the crossfader (and probably other controls).

On thinking, I guess the trouble is that the filter has to be able to eat keyboard input then though, right?
Perhaps have a killswitch that makes it switch between where the focus is (tab?) and make it really obvious what is what? That's not very elegant though.
hmmm. this is hard.

(The reason I ran into this is because how I'm using mixxx is to just go through my library at random and play song after song depending on what I'm feeling like. Mixxx is very... designed for people who know what they are doing.)

Yes, we have currently the "Problem" that if you press "TAB" the focus may change to the search box.
This of course disables keyboard short cuts by design.

I think for now it is save to set this to "won't fix".
Please reopen it if there is still an issue.
