GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 322190
duplicate assignment of keyboard shortcut <Alt+T>

Problem: <Alt+T> opens Tools menu and is also assigned to the text tool. Currently the Tools menu has "wins". Further Info: All menus are accessed via their first letter. All elementry drawing components (line, box, text,...) are accessed equally by their first letter. Solution: I don't know what a sensible alternative keyboard shortcut assignment would be. I would give the text tool preference though. Alternatively, within the Tool menu one could select the text tool via another "t" key stroke. Any Ideas? Other information:
The real problem is the text infrastructure needs an overhaul so we can go back to using single letter keybindings for the Tools. Harder problem to fix though.
Agreed, Alan. Setting component correctly. Notice that also other menu shortcuts are used by the tools menu.
In fact it depends on the menubar visibility which shortcut wins. For me - avoiding the toolbar as much as possible - alt-T still selects the text tool. Though I never noticed before ...
