OK, This would be worth the effort. Hopefully I can write such a request clearly
enough...
Though I'm not sure if you mean incorporate different "preset shortcuts" for
these
buttons, or to incorporate a method for the user to select the shortcuts they
prefer.
Those users who would find this most useful would be the ones who, for one
reason or
another, avoid using the mouse. They, like me, would tend to collect a lot of
personal keyboard shortcuts. And it would be nice to know that I could keep the
new ones
from conflicting with any of the "global" keybindings in my
~/.config/openbox/rc.xml...
Though admittedly, in my case, if they consist of just {alt}+{almost any single
key}
I wouldn't have such a conflict because most of my global shortcuts require at
least
two modifier keys.
It also occurs to me that there might be a way to simply cause those
spellchecker
button's keybindings to preempt the ones in the menu bar while the spellchecker
is
active. Not being a programmer {aside from bash scripts} I wouldn't know which
of
those three possible fixes is more practical to implement.
Nor am I certain that three different suggested solutions to the SAME problem
would
require three separate trac tickets??
Also I'd like to think that it would be OK to put all three of the affected
spellchecker
buttons on the same ticket??
Please tell me that I'm not looking at (3 x 3 = 9) nine trac tickets here...
