Re: [orca-list] where are the gedit menus?

[Todor Fassl <fassl tod gmail com>]

One thing I don't get about this global menu thing is that it seems to 
make hotkeys for apps impossible. So for example, in gedit, if you have 
several files open, you can switch between them with control+tab. How is 
that going to work in a globla menu scheme? I can tell you that it 
doesn't work in the version of gedit you get in debian jessie. Same with 
gnome-terminal. I often have several tabs open and the hotkey I used to 
use to switch between tabs no longer works. That seems like a lot to 
give up for any app.
