Obviously, but when you think of it: If you use the menu for copying and pasting, you are clearly _not_ a keyboard shortcut person. And everyone else knows the combinations anyway. Sure, the learning effect is destroyed. But how much is it worth to have a cluttery shortcut hint displayed that you are going to ignore anyway when you can have an awesome bundled function pair? We don’t really need a way to access the menu faster (as in global menu), we need a way to access the _items_ faster. Chromium and Mac OS help search serve as great examples. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
