so the answer is 3 π€π€π€
but it really should be 2!!!
- the gray background implies the first item is already in focus
- so hitting ββ should highlight #β team-hype, right???
- nope
- pressing β actually focused the first item
- so then you need to press it two more times to actually to the right item
there are a few more issues with this, like
- there are 2 different "selected" states
- the gray one, and the blue one
- the gray one basically means that if you press β that item will be selected (they even had to add an indicator lol)
- the blue one is when the actual list item is focused, so from them on you can start using your arrow keys to navigate
it's so confusing, and to be honest, there is no need why it should work like this
trust me, our whole product is basically built on top of proper list navigation
got a challenge for you. without checking slack...
how many times do you think I need to press β to select #β team-hype?
