cool, sounds useful. but, i don't think i like the "automatically executes anything with a single entry" bit. I think it would be useful as a sort of search feature, and would be "weird" to get a different action based on the contents of the menu. for example, on a long menu, one might try to hit "z" just to get to the bottom of the list, b/c they don't quite know what they are looking for, and be surprised when "zenity" is executed (contrived example, but that's the idea). Win+C, F might be handy, but Win+C, F, Enter isn't that bad either. > > The patch is based on successful application of the patch from my > previous mail, as it's just too messy (it is a little bit already), > without accurate menu list item tracking. > > One item that I'm not happy with, and I can't seem to see the issue is > that when hitting an item with a submenu and the submenu is activated, > the first item is not highlighted.
