Navigate Dash results without arrow keys and mouse

[manes]

When I press Alt+F2 to start an application (e.g. "firefox") I want to be able to navigate the search results from my keyboard in a simple way (e.g. by pressing Tab). Arrow keys are no solution for that because you have to move the hand which makes the usage of Alt+F2 slower than moving the hand to the mouse and clicking in the wanted search result.
Tab is now used for switching the different lenses. Switching lenses by keyboard is nice, but I think navigating results has higher priority because I pressed Alt+F2 to start an application and not to switch to some music or video lens.
At least this should be customizable somewhere in the settings.

In my case, pressing tab takes me to the results. Which version of Unity/Ubuntu are you running?

[manes (neschmuel)]

Unity 5.4.0.
I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 with latest updates.

I just tried the latest daily build from 12.04. Tab also changes the lenses there.

Not sure, but it's probably because I'm on trunk. Probably the next update will fix it for you.

In Precise ctrl+tab is for switching between lenses and TAB for navigation in the Dash,

[manes (neschmuel)]

But with the current daily build (fresh install) TAB does NOT navigate the dash, it still switches between lenses.

my bad I am using Unity trunk. I guess latest version of Unity will reach to precise soon. Today or Monday
