In fact, I was referring to the global distiction between keys and buttons and the applicable actions.
Therefore, we should include the following explanations: <p> Users should be able to distinguish between actions which they have to perform with the mouse or with the keyboard, respectively. </p> <list> <item><p>To perform this action, click <gui>Apply</gui>.</p></item> <item><p>To perform this action, press <key>Enter</key>.</p></item> </list> <p> This is unique for the user to decide whether he has to click a button in the UI or to press a key on his keyboard. Please don't use it as follows: </p> <list> <item><p>To perform this action, press the <gui>Apply</gui> button.</p></item> </list> <p> In fact, we cannot <em>press</em> a button. The physical process <em>to press</em> isn't adaptable to a virtual object. Instead, we <em>click</em> with the mouse or another pointing device. </p> _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
