Command palette returns focus to the mouse even when it has not been used or moved #14

What happened

First, thank you for creating and releasing this software! I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far!

A papercut I've noticed: when one opens the command palette and the mouse cursor is positioned in such a way that it rests where the palette appears, then the palette will return focus to the mouse when one uses the keyboard navigation to select items from the list.

So if I open the palette, and e.g. open the "File" entry then the focus will jump back to the mouse' position.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the command palette with Ctrl + P
2. position the mouse cursor over the palette, somewhere at the end
3. move the focus with the arrow keys to another entry. Maybe something up top like File
4. Open the entry by pressing the right-arrow key

Expected behaviour

The focus should stay on the just opened item and only move to the coursor on mouse movement

Platform / OS

Guix System (Linux)

Install type

Flatpak

InkyCap version

26.6.18

Result of the focus jump:

Hi, I'm glad this is useful for you and thank you for reporting this issue. I think this should be fixed (f2f85ea0c2). At least as I test locally, it works like your third screenshot. This actually turned out to be an issue in several other places too, so they should all work now.
