Navigation annoyance in 20260507 (Recorded)

Post by Cabal »

There was a recent change in navigation behavior on the Recorded page, which is configured as my start page.

If you're among the recordings, and click the up arrow/key, it takes you through the search bar on the way to the menu at the top. If you're on macOS, this is just an extra click on the button you already have your finger on. But if you're on Android TV, this is now a big annoyance, because it pops up the on-screen keyboard on the way to the menu bar, where the up arrow/key has no effect. So behavior has gone from:

Old: Up (1x)
macOS: Up (2x)
Android TV: Up, move finger, Back, move finger, Up

Can navigation to the menu bar be improved? The Discover and Tasks pages navigate through sub-menus rather than the search bar, so there is no annoyance there. Thanks.

Since most screens have some vertical scrolling involved, I have always felt it was the back key to take you to that top menu rather than the up key.

It's an option, but I have very few rows of recordings. 😂
