Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-05-19 21:57:17 UTC 
This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/10842

"In ubuntu warty, the applications/places menu was reasonably navegable from the
keyboard because it supported implied mnemonics (i.e. "I" opened "Internet"
submenu, "M" selected "Mozilla Firefox", etc.).  This feature has disappeared in
GNOME 2.10/Ubuntu Hoary. Now the only navigation option is to use the arrow
keys, which are considerably more difficult to get at for a new user.
Truth be told, my ideal would be to have a way to enable emacs-style movement
(C-n/C-p) as well as to have mnemonics re-enabled. For now, I'll settle for just
getting the mnemonics back. This makes a big difference for laptop use, where
leaving the keyboard for the substandard mouse-substitute (be it trackpad or
trackball) is a substantial PITA."
