I've misremembered the progression. At 5.1 for bug tdf#92630 and handling on GTK3 we'd tweaked the mbEnableAccel and mbAutoAccel to be consistent cross platform. Which for Windows eliminated the <Alt> key focus onto main menu 'File' with opening of that menu. See won't fix bug tdf#124048 Instead <Alt> was behaving like <F10> and would only focus to the main menu default of 'File', without opening it. Requiring a cursor key between menus, or one of the main menu mnemonics, was now needed. <F10> and <Alt> behaved the same entered from document canvas. Meaning the <Alt> should toggle to the main menu, and *confirming your observation* of an issue at 24.2.1.2 release. However, at 24.8 for bug tdf#54169 we've cleaned up the UI response to <Alt> and to follow the SPI_GETKEYBOARDCUES read from MS Windows 'Ease of Access center' action "Underline access keys when available" or from Win11 accessibility settings "Underline access keys". And with that the <Alt> focus again matches the <F10> focus. Will open a Bugzilla issue against 24.2.1 Stuart -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: accessibility+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/accessibility/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
