Summary

Arrow keys move between traces in the log list. Span-level navigation in the side (trace) view uses different keys. Use p and n, and ensure the side panel has keyboard focus.

​
What is happening

When focus is on the log list, ArrowUp and ArrowDown move the selected trace. Opening a trace shows its spans in a side panel. The same arrow keys do not step through spans in that panel. Span navigation requires a different keyboard context and different keys. The side panel must have focus for span keys to be active.

​
Suggested use

  1. Select a trace in the log list using ArrowUp or ArrowDown.
  2. Open the trace in the side panel (click the trace or open it as you normally do).
  3. Click once inside the side panel or press Tab until the panel has focus.
  4. Press n to go to the next span and p to go to the previous span.
  5. Press Shift + / to open the keyboard shortcuts modal for other bindings.

​
Option 2: keyboard-first focus workflow

  1. Navigate to the trace in the list with ArrowUp or ArrowDown.
  2. Navigate to the trace in the list with ArrowUp / ArrowDown.
  3. Open the trace.
  4. Use Tab to move focus from the list into the side panel.
  5. Use n and p to step through spans once the panel is focused.

​
How to confirm it worked

  • With a trace open and the side panel focused, press n repeatedly and observe the highlighted span advancing.
  • With focus on the log list, press ArrowDown and confirm the selected trace changes.
