I apologize for the audacity. It would be lovely if GNOME Shell keyboard support included being able to navigate the top panel's status icons entirely using the arrow keys. Very similar to how OS X allows you to navigate its status icon bar (volume, brightness, etc) - like a series of menus.
Since each status icon in GNOME is in reality a glorified menu launcher, such a consistent way to navigate them would add a lot of ease of use. Currently in GNOME 2.2x you have to use a combination of tab and arrow keys to move to the status icon you want, with little indication (aside from highlight) of which is selected pre-activation. You must manually activate and navigate each menu using a combination of enter/space, shift+F10, and ESC to move between them. Being able to navigate them like the series of menus they try to be would be very handy. I am aware this has some implementation gotchas to watch out for. Some icons do not have a left-click menu (GNOME Do, Rhythmbox); some have identical left and right-click menus (display status icon). So if this is impractical I understand. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
