missing mnemonics in quick search dropdown submenu
Last modified: 2013-09-05 13:07:26 UTC
to assign shortcut keys to all the submenu's for easy navigation.... menu names are ( subject and sender contains etc...) Other information: needed a method to identify to solve this ....
i needed to read this for three times to get you. for future reference, can you PLEASE be much more specific and at least provide steps or explicitly tell that this is about the search feature? (and didn't i ask for this in bug 412171 already?)
my apologies... for improper explanation in the previous post... For the Search feature in the Evolution main window by clicking on the search picture 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 all of the above mentioned options have missing mnemonics i.e shortcut keys not assigned to it....Fixing them improves the usability features of search feature of Evolution
i search for the pattern "subject or sender contains" as given in the search features in am xml file to add shortcut key to it ..... which i got in the evolution/mail/searchtypes.xml file but adding ampersand symbol (&) to it like (su&bject) or sender contains and even tried with underscor (_) --- to create shortcut keys ... but when i run evolution it's directly going to the advanced search option and evolution crashes...... any other better method available to fix this bug ?....... any suggestions plz
none of the dropdowns has mnemonics currently, i guess there's a reason for this (but i don't know it). perhaps you also have to explicitly set the mnemonic widget (for *labels*, that would be gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget) in the corresponding c code.
Bumping version to a stable release.

Closing as WHOCARES. If you've already clicked the icon to open the search option menu, why would you then need shortcut keys when your mouse pointer is already hovering over the popup menu?
Alt+W and using arrow keys might also be an acceptable workaround.
