Default to F1 for help, not Ctrl+H (1.10 KB, patch)

Description j.gnome 2005-01-03 23:02:14 UTC 
Help/Contents should be F1, not Ctrl-H.

The HIG says so:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/menus.html#menu-standard-help
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-standard.html#menu-standard-help

Also, the accelerator in the menu for Edit/Clear/Contents should probably be
changed from F1 to DEL. I think most people expect help when they press F1, not
deleting the cell's contents. :)

Oh. I actually tried pressing Ctrl-H and it's already Edit/Replace...

Looks like a botched patch at some point.

I don't see where help's Ctrl-H comes from, but it should be F1.  Very likely
that F1 was put at the other "_Contents" which should have no accelerator.
Comment 2 Jody Goldberg 2005-01-04 04:34:52 UTC 
I'll tweak it in gnumeric, but I'll reassign to gtk+
It's odd that the stock accelerator for GTK_STOCK_HELP is not hig compliant.
It doesn't seem fixable without breaking compatibility though.

This bug is still present in gtk+ 2.10
please update the "Version:" field of this bug.

This seems pretty obviously correct....
Comment 6 André Klapper 2012-05-06 21:09:56 UTC 
Does not apply cleanly as code has changed in the meantime:
