I wrote an email to the OmniGroup-dev list asking whether key equivalents could be added to the Finder contextual menus like in Camino (Cmd-I for Info and Cmd-D for delete would be really helpful). I got this back, and sent the following bit as a reply. Anyone here care to comment of the "HIG-ness" of key-equivs in contextual menus?

Last I checked, contextual menus are not supposed to have keyboard
equivalents.  I don't know why Terminal does; I find it annoying.

I find the contextual menu equivs in Camino to be extremely useful, and not *too* non-intuitive since menus now stay open when you click them. Just click, then Cmd-I for info. This isn't much of a stretch on an iBook keyboard. It saves me the time, effort, and (maybe) RSI-inducing movement to scroll down to the item on a trackpad.


It's like how I delete things on Windows (when I have to). Right-click on an icon, then D for delete, then Y for yes. One smooth motion, the over-cautious MS dialog be damned!

Jim
