Description vinod 2007-04-17 05:22:09 UTC
For the Search feature in the Evolution 2.10 main window under the mailer
  by clicking on the search feature in the search text box     
  their are 6 options that are displayed
    --Subject or sender contains
    --Recipient contains
    --Message contains
    --Subject contains
    --Sender contains
    --Body contains and 
       and advanced search option

 none of the above mentioned radio buttons have a mnemonics assigned to it....
 fixing them improves the usability feature of the application

Other information:
Steps to reproduce:
the Search feature in the Evolution main window under the mailer
  by clicking on the search feature in the search text box     
  their are 6 options that are displayed
    --Subject or sender contains
    --Recipient contains
    --Message contains
    --Subject contains
    --Sender contains
    --Body contains and 
       and advanced search option

always these buttons will be no mnemonics assigned to them...


actual results ...
 mouse navigation has to be done for selecting the options

expected results:
 assigning mnemonics provides easy selection of the options.. and hence improves the usability of the application for the search feature

even with mnemonics i could not access the dropdown without a mouse.

vinod, please use summaries so that one understands what this is about. you're takling about the search here, so name it. thanks in advance. :-)

It doesn't look like there's an easy way to give each item in search a unique mnemonic, as they are dynamically added and removed, however, they could all be given the same mnemonic and the user can select by repeating the shortcut (The dropdowns at the top do work with mnemonics, if that's what you meant, by pressing the mnemonic to select the dropdown box, then space to activate it)
