--- Comment #6 from cwo <cwo....@posteo.net> --- (In reply to slartibart70 from comment #3) > But: Edit is not reachable by shortcut (i tried all letters as shown in the > hover-menu but wasn't succesful. I'm using english/us as language), neither > in systray nor popup. Works with Alt-E for me. But the assignment may be dynamic depending on what letters are available, and there may be an issue there. (I'll have to check if we explicitly set one. It also sometimes seems to work only on the second try. > The problem with arrow-keys is, that you need to select the icon and then > press space(!) to invoke the action.

(Not very intuitive, don't you think? :-) Maybe not intuitive, but it should be consistent - space is the key that activates buttons and similar controls like checkboxes and radio buttons. Return is the key that indicates a larger accept. For example, in a dialog that has internal buttons like the Properties dialog in Dolphin, you can tab to the Refresh, Explore in Filelight, etc. buttons, then activate them with space. If you press Return, it will operate on the whole dialog and do the default action there, closing it. Or in the Network connection widget (usually in the system tray), when you arrow to an entry, space will act as if you clicked it and expand the details view, but Return will initiate the connection (prompting for the password if needed) > Maybe it could help, if the hover-menu would indicate the active letter with > an underline , similar to the visual guide in application-menus? Maybe, I'm not sure this would work (it might) but having to press alt while hovering over a tool tip isn't exactly discoverable. I don't think accelerator keys are generally a good fit for our icon-only buttons, to be honest - with the way we've implemented them they have to be somewhat dynamic, so they only work well with immediate visual feedback. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
