Description Sven Arvidsson 2007-05-28 23:01:45 UTC 
[ Forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/422470 ]

The help still has a section about "Send text to other window", but there does not seem to be such an option.
Comment 1 Dave Neary 2009-11-04 16:21:12 UTC 
This might be silly, but shouldn't this bug instead be "Send text to other window feature missing" and have its severity set a bit higher? That feature is more or less required to make Dasher useful as a text entry application.

Removing the documentation of a feature which should not have been removed seems like the wrong way to look at this.

Dave.
Comment 2 Dave Neary 2009-11-04 16:29:03 UTC 
The Debian bug mentions "dasher --appstyle=direct" which does the direct entry but has problems of its own - the speed doesn't appear to be modifiable, or to adapt verry quickly, the options & menus aren't available at all, and it segfaulted on me after about 5 minutes.

Seems like Dasher needs some care & attention.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2021-05-26 09:58:35 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/dasher/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
