Description Ettore Perazzoli 2002-03-04 21:07:20 UTC 
When I pop up the about box in Nautilus, I expect to be able to hit "C" to
get the credits and "O" to close the dialog (as the buttons are labelled
_Credits and _OK and I am not in a text field).

Instead, only Alt-C and Alt-O work.
Comment 1 Ettore Perazzoli 2002-03-04 22:24:03 UTC 
Actually, this seems to happen for all the GNOME dialogs.  So e.g. if
I get a Yes/No question, I have to answer with Alt-Y or Alt-N instead
of just Y or N.

Annoying.

(Changing the Summary to make the issue clearer.)
Comment 2 Ettore Perazzoli 2002-03-29 03:59:43 UTC 
Is this a GTK bug?
Comment 3 Owen Taylor 2002-03-29 04:06:50 UTC 
Perhaps a missing feature;there was some discussion of this,
but I don't think it was ever scoped out exactly how it should
work; probably the only halfway reasonable thing would be
to make the programmers specify if the dialog should allow unmodified
accelerators.

(There is gtk_window_set_mnemonic_modifier(), but it doesn't seem
useful, since it's all or nothing... Alt doesn't keep on working
if you pass 0 for the modifier.)
Comment 4 Anders Carlsson 2002-04-08 22:44:36 UTC 
Reassigning this to gtk+ as it clearly is a gtk+ issue
