Hey all.
I just fired up Gedit and noticed the menubar is gone. I'm guessing we
will start to see more and more apps move in this direction, so a couple
things I would ask app developers and designers to consider:
1. There should be an intuitive, consistent, immediate way to jump to
the widgets that live in the header bar. I think this shortcut should
move to the first of the widgets. I'd like to toss out F10 for
consideration since that's what tends to work in menubar-possessing
apps. But I'm not wedded to that idea, as long as we can agree upon,
implement, and document that shortcut.
Related: IMHO Ctrl+Shift+Tab, which got me from the Gedit Text View
to the last focusable widget, is not a good candidate to address this
need.
2. Focusable widgets should have meaningful accessible names. The cog
menu in Gedit's name is "Menu." "Menu" is also the name of the
drop-down-opening "v" widget to the right of the "Open" button.
It would be great to have a short, but more informative and
sufficiently unique, name for each.
Related 1: You can see the accessible names of your widgets via the
tree on the left in Accerciser.
Related 2: Accerciser was pretty broken, but Javi fixed the more
critical of those bugs in master.
Thanks guys!!
