Nemo file manager - change focus from the sidebar to the main view (automatically)

**Edit:** [GitHub issue report](https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/1230) I find it hard to change focus (either by keyboard, or automatically) from the sidebar to the contents view in Nemo 2.8.7 on Ubuntu 16.04. Nautilus does not have this problem. I want to be able to navigate through folders quickly, by typing in starting characters of folders, using arrows and pressing enter/backspace, without having to use a mouse, or possibly any shortcut to switch the problematic focus on the sidebar. ### How I can switch: - using a mouse - by switching between icon/list/compact views with a shortcut - control+1/2/3 (ridiculous) - by opening the bookmarked folder in a new window - control+return (even more so) - by opening the bookmarked folder in a new tab - shift+return, switching to the previous tab and back with alt+1 and alt+2 (...) ### How I want to switch: - at the first click/return key press on the sidebar. - also with a shortcut (like tab), back and forth What can be done about it?
