[pgadmin-hackers] File / Favorites menu suggestion in SQL window

[Steve Midgley]

Hello,

I hope this is an appropriate email to this list. First of all, PgAdmin 
is a great tool and I use it all the time. Thank you all for building 
and contributing to it. I also searched the mail archives and didn't 
see this issue reported already..

Problem:
I use Windows XP sp2 and have noticed that in recent additions of 
PgAdmin, in the SQL sub-application there are two top level menus with 
the same letter:

File | Favorites

This creates a situation where some very common Windows key strokes no 
longer work in this application. For example, almost every application 
in Windows will respond to:

Alt-F-S => Save file

But in the SQL app, because there are two "F" activated letters (they 
both have an underline under the "F"), Windows will not open the File 
menu when a user presses "Alt-F"

Suggested resolution:
Change the "activated letter" for _F_avorites to F_a_vorites (move the 
menu option from "F" => "a").

(I used to do a little Windows programming and in a few development 
environments I would have changed "&Favorites" to "F&avorites" - not 
sure if that's a generic Windows API syntax or not).

If this suggestion isn't clear, please just let me know. Again, I truly 
appreciate this powerful and open source tool, and all of your 
contributions to it. (And I welcome feedback if this email is not 
appropriate to this list).

Sincerely,

Steve Midgley
