Forward keys to commandline bar - PageUp/Home

Hello,
I have problem with checked on Explorer Panel Settings - Keyboard handling - Forward keys to commandline bar. This is very usefull feature, but when it is on, then cursor (sometimes) jumps into bar when I press PageUp or Home (may be on some others keys). I think, that cursor should jump into command line when characters are pressed only (for quick search I use Alt+key). Can you fix this?

Thanks, Marek

I don't know how you manage to do that.
PgUp/PgDn are hard wired to move the focus item a page up / down. And that key is never handled as unhandled and are not sent to the commandline field.
Do you have some unusual keyboard setup or something else that can change it ?
Do you use a laptop keyboard or some other mini keyboard that uses multiple keys on the same key ?

I have no special settings. I found, that it happens when I use Up/Down keys too. When I browse dirs/files and I press repeatedly Up (or Down) key (approx. 12x), then the command line sets focus, cursor skips there and Up/Down browse history of commands. When I uncheck Forward keys to commandline bar in settings, then the command line never gets focus, but I can't simple type commands (I have to click into commandline with mouse).

Thanks, Marek

Strange. 
Something else must be causing it, because it does not make sense.

I looked at the code and pagedn/pageup can not be forwarded to the commandline field because those key are never reached the part the forward the keys.

Also the part that forward keys to the commandline field block all special keys from being forwarded.  and pageup/pagedown and the arrow keys are among them.
So some other key must be triggering it or something.

If you enable the Application Log with log level "debug" under Core Settings in the latest beta version.. (build 1629+) it will log what key that is triggering forwarding.
