Which system do you use? Android, Ubuntu, OOWOW or others?

Android 13(Also Andorid 12)

Which version of system do you use? Please provide the version of the system here:

Latest stock firmware

Please describe your issue below:

You can’t click with a dpad remote on these menus or icons since they have no focus. Only a mouse can click on them.

Is it possible to make a patch for dpad navigation for all the menus(top left and right and middle icons where you choose a different file manager) for packages/apps/DocumentsUI app?

This is a native Android application. At present, no changes will be made, following Google’s design.

@william.lin
I understand it won’t be changed for official firmware.
Can you perhaps still help privately if I want to improve it for myself?
Lots of game emulator apps and Magisk requires it and then you can’t use a remote or game controller to select files and need to use a mouse.
