… the list In the task-list view the detail pane can only be scrolled after moving focus into it (right/l or Enter). Bind Shift+J / Shift+K as screen-level shortcuts that scroll the detail pane body from either pane, so the list keeps focus while long descriptions are read. The shortcut is inert while filters are focused, a popup/modal is open, or there is no detail pane, and it never triggers the boundary jump into the search field.
