  • Ticket #18681 – Description

    initial v12  
    1 I tried to use the keyboard only to access the screen preferences.
     1Similar to the default type-ahead jumping in Tracker, where you enter a letter and the selection jumps to the first file starting with the letter.\\
     2For example:
     3* Invoke Deskbar menu (hit MENU key).
     4* Type 'p' -> "Preferences" are selected.
     5* Hit CursorRight to open "Preferences" sub-menu.
     6* Type 'sh' -> "Shortcuts" are selected.
     7* Hit ENTER to launch Shortcuts prefs.

    3 Pressing "List" will focus on Desktop
    4 with arrow keys I can move up and down and right or left in the menu
    5 But choosing preferences with "Enter" or "Return" will not open the preferences!
     9If we go with 'type-ahead jumping", why not also optional 'type-ahead filtering' like in Tracker.

    7 Better would be:
    8 "List" not on all Keyboards
    9 "p" for preferences
    10 "s" for screen
    11 to reach the screen preferences window quick similar to the search ahead function in folder structures.
     11See also #6496 that describes a similar enhancement to Tracker's drill-down-navigation.
