I think this would be the better fix. But then what of this case: - 'a' is mnemonic for 'submenu 1' - 'a' is mnemonic for 'item 1' under 'submenu 1' - 'a' is mnemonic for 'item 2' (same level as submenu 1) Hitting 'a' highlight 'submenu 1'. Should hitting again 'a' highlight 'item 2' on the same level or enter inside 'submenu 1' and highlight 'item 1'? Of course, if hitting right arrow is mandatory to go inside the submenu, that's not a problem, but since you felt it was a problem earlier, I just wanted to raise the issue. Second issue is that you usually want to have an item be directly run (and not just highlighted) when it is a finale item. Otherwise should we also hit Enter to activate? > Can this behaviour be fixed? Everything can be done, but since that's in GTK+: - GTK+ devs must agree with the change of behavior. - This cannot be for GIMP 2.10 because GTK+ is stable and don't accept new features/change of behavior. Also GTK+3 itself just went stable so that means it probably won't be doable for GIMP 3 even.
