I don't have a good sense that we know how this should work from
the user's perspective.
Open questions include:
- How do you get to the toolbar. (It seems like F10 and <tab>
to switch between menu bar and toolbars probably is a good
option here.)
- What is the behavior for "normal widgets" in toolbars, such as
Nautilus's URL entry? This should, I think be in the normal
tab order, not something that you should access with F10, <tab>.
- What is the behavior for tearoff toolbars?
I'm wondering if then we should just say from an accessibility point
of view:
"All actions accessible through the toolbar should be also available
through the menus, unless the widgets are in the normal focus chain."
I believe other operating systems do this, so we won't be behind
in this area. The lack of existing practice worries me a bit if
we try to come up with something at this point.
This item can be revisted for GTK+-2.2, especially since the menu and
toolbar APIs are scheduled for some rework in 2.2.
Is this acceptable?
Owen
