Accessibility: Creating new collections, Keyboard problem

Imagine the following...

A user can't use the mouse. They want to create a new collection somewhere in the collection hierarchy. They can't complete this task

Press Alt + f, then n, n, enter to go activate the New Collection menu item.
A New collection modal dialog opens.
Tab to Create In combo box
Try to use the up and down keys to find the appropriate parent collection.
Zotero only allows a parent collection to be selected with one key press. After that, you can't change it.
In contrast, mouse users can easily browse the collection hierarchy through the combo box

  • Thank you for the report. This is fixed in the last Beta. The list of collections can now be navigated via arrows. You can also expand the entire collection dropdown with Alt+DownArrow if you need to get to a sub-collection deeper in the hierarchy.
