2022-04-29 16:32:11 Dan Sorak description Within "Save As" dialogs from any desktop application, all navigation operations, specifically the most common one of changing folders, switches focus away from the file name input, resulting in the search input box accepting keyboard input instead of the filename input box. This is extremely frustrating for a several reasons: 1. After navigating to the desired folder, typing the name for the file is instead captured by the search input box instead of the expected filename input box 2. The search input box does not even appear until key presses are received, making it even more surprising that the filename is not being altered and is instead the beginning of a search 3. Using the mouse to re-focus on the filename input box deselects the originally selected default file name text, causing the user to have to re-select everything 4. Re-selecting everything (see #2 above) causes the default file name extension (which is excluded in the initial selection) to also be selected, requiring the user to think about what it was and to re-enter that extension as well 5. "Tab" key navigation takes an inordinate number of tab key presses to return to the filename input box Sorry to complain about this, but I almost ALWAYS choose to change folders, and then when I type in the name, I have to re-do all 4 steps described above because the search input has invariably captured my key presses instead of the changing the filename. It is very annoying. I would like to suggest that the search input box either not be automatically switched to in the "Save As" mode of the dialog, or to have a separate and explicit search input box that does not automatically receive input on folder navigation operations.
