[Bug 199866] Re: Navigating the Main Application Menu using the keyboard does not work fully
I'm surprised any access keys works. Since there is not an underscore indicating that the menu item has an access key, I've never tried it. I use ALTF1, then arrow keys to select items. In general the menu is behaving like a list where the key press will select the first item that starts with that key. I do not experience the described behaviour by the way in Ubuntu Gutsy. AltF1 activates the Menu Bar. The keys 'p' and 's' do activates the Places and System menu respectively, and pressing a key will select any submenu that starts with that key. The Application menu is a problem. It is not activated by AltF1, I cannot activate it with the 'a' key, even though I can see the menu items. The GNOME Main Menu also has problems. I can activate it and access the menu items, but it does not behave like application menus. Selecting an item that has a submenu should make the submenu active so that I can use keys to select an item. I think the GNOME Main Menu (and the Menu Bar used by Ubuntu) violate the HIG. Reading the guidelines at http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/menus.html.en I think the general problem is that both menus do not provide access keys. The Menus are special though, They are not verb/adjective based since they focus on things.
