Cannot use keyboard to navigate the UITK gallery in single-column mode

[Tim Peeters]

Start the UITK gallery, and resize the window to have a single column.

Now, with TAB change focus between the header, and the ListView with that list the different Pages with components. But it is not possible when the ListView has focus, to use the arrow keys to select a ListItem, and then press ENTER/SPACE to open that page, because pressing the arrow (up/down) key automatically triggers the ListItem (onClicked?) and opens the Page. So only the first Page (ActionBar) can be opened using keyboard navigation when you have only one column.

UX Fix:
In a single column view only the arrow keys for selection should be turned off and just move up and down the list, to select enter should be used.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hold on.... ListView navigation is possibl eONLY if the ListView is focused. If the focused item is a Header action, the up/down keys will NOT be captured by the ListView. It is illogical that up/down keys should be grabbed by the ListView even if it has no focus.

Enter/Return/Space key handling si in a separate MR. Should the Space key also act as Enter on ListItems? Or only on Buttons?
