Hi there,
This morning I read a post on Planet Ubuntu talking about trying out
Epiphany. I've looked at it before but decided to give it another shot
and immediately ran into a non-intuitive interface problem.
When I typed ALT+D in Epiphany to go to the address bar the Help menu
was selected instead. At first I thought that Epiphany wasn't
recognizing my keyboard layout. I use U.S. English Dvorak, selected in
the Gnome preferences. In Qwerty my "D" key would be "H" - so it looked
as if Epiphany was ignoring my keyboard layout and treating it as an
ALT+H command. I discovered, by trying ALT+F, etc. that I was
mistaken. Epiphany was handling the layout correctly. In looking a the
menus I realized the problem. Epiphany uses CTRL+L to go to the
"Location" bar.
Personally I don't care whether it's called Location or Address. But
there has to be a better response than popping up the Help menu. I'd
have preferred no response at all. That would have told me more than
showing me the help menu. If I hit ALT+D and nothing happened I'd at
least have known that it wasn't a valid command.
Alternatively, ALT+D could behave as it does in other browsers. Or a
tip could have been displayed suggesting that the user press CTRL+L.
Just my two cents. I'll stick with trying out Epiphany this week and
see how it goes.
Ryan
