      Currently, Find bar textField has to connection to the grid. Users have to use their mouse to click on the results. Naturally they will have the instinct to press keyDown and it should navigate to the user item of the Grid. In addition, keyUp event should go back to textField if it's triggered on the grid's first item. Hence, we should be adding a shortcut listener to the TextField which will navigate to the first item of the Grid upon keyDown event and vice versa.

      Implement keyboard navigation for

      • keyDown (go down to result list and focus results one by one downwards)
      • keyUp (focus results one by one upwards)
      • hit return in the result list (opens content in an app)

      Business value:

      • Faster use.
      • Support what feels like natural behavior to the user.

      The implementation in the scope of this ticket only includes shortcuts while the find bar has focus. A wider range (and scope) of shortcuts is planned in MGNLUI-4934.
