------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 16 23:27:06 -0800 2005 ------- If the menu is localized to non-latin language (in this case Thai), there will be a problem with using menu shortcut if the keyboard language is different from the menu language. 1) if the menu is in English and the keyboard layout is English - OK. For example, you can type 'Alt-F' then 'O' to open a file. 2) If the menu is in Thai and the keyboard layout is Thai - OK. For example, you can type 'Alt-à' then 'à' to open a file. 3) if the menu is in Thai but the keyboard layout is English, e.g. users is currently typing something in English - there'll be a problem. You can't type 'Alt-à' and 'à' to open a file because the keyboard layout is currently English. You can't type 'Alt-F' and 'O' either because the menu is in Thai. The user has to switch the keyboard layout to Thai before they can use the menu shortcut which is impracticle. 4) if the menu is in English but the keyboard layout is Thai, e.g. Thai users who prefer to use English UI and are typing Thai - there's a similar problem. You can't type 'Alt-F' and 'O' because the keyboard layout is currently Thai. The user has to switch the keyboard layout to English before they can use the menu shortcut which is impracticle. I think the cause of this problem is that OOo use translated keyboard character to find the menu item. The solution may be having OOo uses keyboard scan code and associates the scan codes with the menu items instead. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
