hi :) i greatly appreciate the improved keyboard navigation in gnome2. however i think there is still room for improvements: ctrl-U doesn't clear the line anymore in text widgets. in message boxes, the first letter of the buttons is used as an shortcut, for example Alt-Y will activate y and Alt-N will activate no. why do i have to press alt here? it would be a lot easier to simply press y or n. one could bind both Alt-Letter and Letter-only to the button. if some widget that needs keyboard input by itself is focused, it should of course get those -- i don't want a dialog to close while typing text. but in the absence of a focused text input field, pressing the alt key is simply not needed. similar for many 'simple' applications: why do i have to press Control for _every_ keyboard command, even when the not-control keys do nothing? one could of course say: control keys work everywhere! everything else would be inconsistent. but i don't understand why some applications have to use broken keyboard commands just because others do, too... comments? perhaps i'm just missing some options... -- CU, / Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen, Germany Martin Waitz // [Tali on IRCnet] [tali.home.pages.de] _________ ______________/// - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - /// dies ist eine manuell generierte mail, sie beinhaltet // tippfehler und ist auch ohne grossbuchstaben gueltig. / - Wer bereit ist, grundlegende Freiheiten aufzugeben, um sich kurzfristige Sicherheit zu verschaffen, der hat weder Freiheit noch Sicherheit verdient.
