// Please enter a detailed description of the issue // Description of the issue: Unable to open file using keyboard operations (See below)

// Please enter a list of steps required to reproduce the issue // Steps to reproduce:

1. Open marked2 (not already open)
   
2. Type Cmd-o
   
3. Navigate to file using tab & up/down arrows (not mouse)
   
4. Press return when file selected ('Open button is blue, indicating default, but not in focus)
   
5. Marked2 closes--nothing happens.

Close Marked2 (Cmd-q). Repeat, but in step 4, highlight the 'open' button (by tabbing to it), then press either space bar or return. Same--nothing happens.
Close Marked2. Repeat using mouse. Same.
If a file is opened any other way (drag/drop, reopen previous file), then the above instructions DO work for subsequent file open operations. Only the first doesn't.

Background:
Previously, I always drag/dropped file from TextMate 2. I started using Emacs (terminal) in an attempt to reduce my mouse mileage, so started opening files in Marked2 from the keyboard.

// If applicable please attach a sample document that causes the issue for you.

// Configuration (do not edit) Marked 2 974 (Mac App Store)

macOS Version: 10.14.4

   I'm not seeing this happen on my machine. After a fresh launch I'm able
   to use cmd-o, navigate to the file, then hit return to open without
   issue. Based on your thorough description I assume this is completely
   replicable for you. I'll see if I can dig up a reason this might be
   happening, but it's always harder when I can't confirm it locally. I'll
   do what I can.

   Thanks,
   Brett

   I think this issue is something to do with the general setting ‘Quit after closing last window’.
   When ON, opening Marked2 and selecting a file, click open/press return, Marked2 doesn’t open.
   'Reopen last file’ works, and so does subsequent opens.
   When OFF (unselected), Marked2 Cmd-O etc works as expected.

   Nope, still works fine for me with that option on...

   Stumped. I tested on two back-to-factory, default installs of 10.14.5 and 10.13.6. Both the same. Can’t open a file with ‘Quit after closing last window’=ON. Guess I’ll turn it OFF ;)

   But in both cases turning it off fixes the issue? That's weird, and
   weird that I can't replicate...
