Running Solidworks 2018 SP5.0.

 

I'm having difficulty navigating the Feature Manager (in .SLDPRT or .SLDASM) with the arrow keys on my keyboard in such a way that the arrow keys actually select (highlight) the item I navigate to. I want the arrow keys to be able to select (highlight) the item because I want to do things to the item I select (suppress, hide, edit, etc). Trying to reduce mousing.

 

Right now using arrow keys just seem to result in some non-useful box outline of the item in the Feature Tree. 

 

What I want:

 

What I'm getting:

I'm seeing the same thing in the context of a .SLDASM. When I use the arrow keys, the part is not getting fully highlighted, just this halfway highlighting that doesn't seem to be a "real" selection.

No one else has this question
