Bug ID: 498446
Summary: accelerator keys in Window Operations Menu are
invisible/undiscoverable even when pressing/holding
Alt
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: appmenu
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: makesourcenotc...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
=== Expected behavior ===
When a user opens the Window Operations Menu they should be able to discover
which accelerator keys map to which action or submenu.
=== Actual behavior ===
Even pressing and/or holding Alt doesn't reveal the accelerator keys.
For novices the only way to discover them is by trial and error pressing keys
and seeing what does/doesn't happen.
For programmers they can look at the strings passed to the various addAction
calls in UserActionMenu::init in src/useractions.cpp.
Either way it shouldn't be this painful.
=== Other thoughts ===
Ideally once the Window Operations Menu is invoked the user would just see the
underlined accelerator keys without needing to press or hold Alt for proper
discoverability as was the case in the good old days.
But even needing to press Alt to see them is fine. That would at least be
consistent with the unfortunate change of norms that seemed to happen around
2012-13 not just with KDE but also GTK/MATE/Cinnamon/Xfce.
