whishlist: '/' keybinding for "Find"
Last modified: 2005-05-09 10:16:10 UTC
'/' as keybinding for the "Find" function feels more natural to some users then the '^F' binding, certainly since the search bar is placed nicely at the bottom of the window reminds me of pagers like 'less'. Other information:
This seems ok to go ahead with. I sent a message to the usability list just asking if anyone else is doing this in their find systems just for some other ideas. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2005-February/msg00134.html
Now evice perfectly works with changing acceleration item. To make / work do the following: 1. Check if gconf key /desktop/gnome/interface/can_change_accels is set to TRUE. 2. Open required menu entry with, but doesn't activate it. 3. Press required key, for example '/'. If this solution satisfies you, please, close the bug.
Sory it took me some time to answer - spending to much time offline lately :S I tried the can_change_accels trick and it works how I wanted it to work :) Just wondering, if you're not using '/' for anything else would it hurt to have two default keybindings (^F and /) ? As I argued earlier I think I lot of unix users expect this to work "out of the box". Cheers! -- pardus@cpan
