--- Comment #8 from ratijas <m...@ratijas.tk> --- > For the workflow you are recommending it is necessary for a user to > configure/memorise a keyboard shortcut and get used to it. Users might never > do this. Menu bar is so special that one prominent operating system has been shipping it as a dedicated panel on top of the screen for decades now. That same operating system doesn't assume or allow users making some weird multi-panel multi-applet setups, so it can afford shipping default shortcuts as well: for Dock, Menu and System tray — and I never heard anyone complaining about that (except maybe for the lack of Meta+1/2/3… shortcuts for apps in dock like Windows and Plasma does; but that's a different story). > It is also not a very scalable solution because they would need to learn a > keyboard shortcut for every control element they might be interested in > jumping to.

Come on, I never meant that users should set a shortcut per each control. See my previous paragraph about how menu bar is special. More generally, tools nowadays more often tend to be using the "command palette" approach: something like KRunner with a search bar and a list of results, which is as great for discoverability and productivity as classic menus won't ever get. (by the way, where's a special Help menu with a search field in this Global Menu applet?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
