Keyboard shortcuts to navigate inside the tiles

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I am a very keyboard-intensive user. I try to maximize the work I do through keyboard shortcuts, as it allows me to keep my focus, without having to move my hand constantly between the keyboard and the mouse. I consider it distracting and makes me lose focus. So I had mixed feelings about Tiles, because although, certainly, it facilitates the overall work experience, having to use most of its basic actions through the mouse, really penalizes my ability to use it as quickly and fully integrated with my work experience as I'd need.

Yesterday I discovered that Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right Arrows can be configured to navigate between pages. This was great news for me. Unfortunately, I have not discovered any keyboard shortcut to navigate between the tiles in the same page, which is what I miss to fully integrate Tilesin my work routine.

Is there such a shortcut? Otherwise, would you consider to add it for any further release? Intuitively, if Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right arrows allow navigation between pages, Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down arrows could be very naturally be assimilated as navigation shortcuts to move inside the tiles in a certain page.

Thank you in advance for your reply,
·· joan

I second this request. I consider buying Tiles, but was concerned about keyboard shortcuts. Seems like a solid app, but i too will always rather use the keyboard than the mouse. So if essential keyboard shortcuts are added, i will reconsider buying it, maybe the whole Object Desktop to use it along with Groupy.

Have you found a workaround, or has it been updated with shortcuts since this thread was last active?
