GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 138801
Improved keyboard shortcuts for gtali.
Last modified: 2018-05-22 12:27:21 UTC
Here's a patch which adds new shortcut keys for gtali. The keypad numbers 1-5 now work to select dice, and the user may press keys 'a'-'m' to select the corresponding row from the scoreboard. The row labels have been updated accordingly. With these changes, the user can play a whole game of Yahtzee without ever moving his hands from home row :-) This patch was made against CVS HEAD, but it should also apply to the 2.6.x version.
Created attachment 26219 [details] [review] Adds new shortcut keys to gtali.
Just a quick note to say that I have seen the patch. I'm a bit worried about internationalisation issues with using a..m and I also think the a) style prefix is ugly (not to mention the fact that the translators will hate it). Possible alternatives are to have the mneumonics after the labels or to use the underscore thing like menus do (and make the properly mneumonics). The problem with the last idea is that it moves 1..5 from the dice to the rows. Sorry for being so negative. The idea is good, but I'm not sure about the details.
