Unfocus keeps selection

Hello everyone,

Please welcome a small enhancement which I hope you’ll find useful. When unfocusing a list with Shift+Left, Checkvist will keep the current selection. Previously it always set it to the first item in the list in such a case.

This is convenient when navigating into a deep bookmark in a large list, when you want to see nearby items to the bookmarked one.

Hope you find it useful, too :slight_smile:

Nice! It was a very small annoyance, but it’s nice to see it gone!

It’s definitely helpful.

I want to add another thing: The list in your example is tiny. In more extensive lists, after unfocus, the selection might be off-screen (above or below what is shown). Then, I need to figure out which direction I need to scroll. Sometimes, in similar situations of being lost, I can use a small navigation action to have the selection scroll into view (e.g., arrow-up, which I can undo by arrow-down). Alternatively, you could automatically scroll the selection into view or provide an action that does this (IntelliJ’s Scroll to Center). Just a few of my unfinished thoughts, but happy with every improvement you make.

Hello @Ralf ,

I’m glad you like this enhancement. May I ask you to give some more details on the case when scrolling to the selected item does not work? The matter is, in my 3000+ items list it keeps the selection in the visible area of the page on unfocus. Do you use Chrome? Any filters on the page? Anything else?

Thanks,
KIR

It was when I first tried this new feature. I used Safari on Mac in a zoomed view (unintentionally, it was just my then-current working environment). Now, with Safari on iPad, I cannot reproduce it. Works fine.
