GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 622064
Go to page functionality only available in toolbar
Last modified: 2011-06-27 13:54:20 UTC
I have disabled the toolbar to save screen space. Now there is no way of going to a page. In the "Go" menu there should be an option (also accessible by a keyboard shortcut) for going to a page, e.g. by opening a dialog window and prompting for a page number.
Oh, and I see that even when the toolbar is enabled there is no way of going to a different page by keyboard only.
Agree there should be a Go -> Go to Page... menu item (shortcut Ctrl+G, perhaps?), which either pops up a dialog or gives focus to the toolbar control (temporarily showing the toolbar if required) to allow you to enter a page number. Note that you *can* already do this with the keyboard, if the toolbar is being shown, using the standard (if not entirely obvious) keyboard navigation for toolbars: press Tab until a control on the toolbar has focus, then use left/right arrows to navigate to the page number text field. (Note, to move focus back out of the text field, you have to use Tab again.)
So there is already the action, Ctrl+L performs exactly this. I agree there should be a menu item so the shortcut be discoverable. We probably should also change the shortcut to Ctrl+G? Calum, UX advice appreciated.
Oops, on second thoughts, Ctrl+G is a bad idea, as that's the standard "Find Next" shortcut. I can see why you chose Ctrl+L, and I think it probably makes sense to keep that. So I would suggest you just add an item to the bottom of the Go menu: _Previous Page Ctrl+PgUp _Next Page Ctrl+PgDn --- _First Page Ctrl+Home _Last Page Ctrl+End --- Go to Pa_ge... Ctrl+L
