What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

When navigating by keyboard, pressing Enter to go into a subdirectory, the keyboard focus jumps to the "New window" icon, but it should remain within the window so that the keyboard can be used to select other files or enter other directories.

Requirements

  • Use Files with default settings
  • Select folder with images inside and press enter to open the folder via the keyboard
  • The layout will quickly change from Details to Grid
  • Notice how the focus is removed from the file area and switches to the "new window" button

Files Version

3.8.0.0

Windows Version

Edition Windows 11 Enterprise Version 24H2 Installed on ‎09/‎10/‎2024 OS build 26100.2314 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.32.0

Thank you for the report, I cannot reproduce this in the Details View but there is a known issue that we're tracking regarding the Columns View in #13813. Can you confirm if you're using the Columns View?

Browse in Grid View, but actually the setting is to have it choose a View automatically.
Keyboard navigate into a folder which you haven't visited before, and which is mostly images.
It displays the folder in Some Random View (not sure which), then realises it's images and switches to Grid View. At that point the keyboard focus changes to the Tab Actions Menu icon.

I've updated the issue description to reflect this information, can you confirm if it's correct?
