[Bug 493762] Re: Hide shortcut keys in menus
Following upstream's assessment of this (in gnome bug 604315), I am adding human-gtk-theme to the bug report. It is possible to style the GtkAccelLabel to achieve the desired effect. Here is Moblin doing it: http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=151627 May be worth discussing on the ubuntu-art mailing list. May be worth implementing the adjustment in a non-default theme (in the community- themes package) in order to test the waters and get the ball rolling :) ** Also affects: human-gtk-theme Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Hide shortcut keys in menus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: This is a continuation of a discussion from: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/403691 Why not hide the Control+Commands on drop down menus in the same way? That would reduce a hell of a lot of visual noise for something that - let's be honest here - is rarely used. Example: Before (boo, noisy!): http://imgur.com/wpAR4l.png After (a breath of fresh air!): http://imgur.com/cOy1nl.jpg (Sorry about the icons - screenshot was taken on 8.04) - If 403691, it would be nice if they could coincide so that pressing alt - would uncover all the shortcuts. + If bug #403691, it would be nice if they could coincide so that pressing + alt would uncover all the shortcuts. The one issue to deal with would be the width - would it get wider as the shortcut appeared, or would it be that width normally, with the accelerator simply becoming visible when the key is pressed. I think I'd prefer the later, but would be interested in what others have to say. -- Hide shortcut keys in menus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That's at least a step in the right direction! >From upstream: http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=149582 Much nicer, themeable, customizable (haters like me would be able to make them invisible with theming :) ) -- Hide shortcut keys in menus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Fun trivia: Maemo (used on Nokia N810, N900, etc) hides shortcut text when the keyboard is closed, shows it when the keyboard is open. Windows does similar stuff with the mnemonics (which are indicated by underlines): they are only shown when Alt is being pressed, then some newer applications produce more colourful and obvious overlays (indicating all the shortcuts) to make it easier to interact that way. I don't think we can do all that here, but I have an alternative suggestion: use Pango markup to italicize, grey out or shrink that shortcut text. Gets it out of the way, emphasizes that the shortcuts are _alternatives_, but doesn't harm any existing functionality. -- Hide shortcut keys in menus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The upstream bug report is for this issue , and the suggestion was to make the shortcuts lighter. -- Hide shortcut keys in menus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

One issue in Rich Jones' mockup is that gtk currently does not work that way. If the shortcuts are not displayed the menu will become thinner/narrower. Check out the session menu. The fix is in no way a simple/easy one. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: New => Invalid ** Also affects: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #604315 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604315 ** Also affects: gtk via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604315 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Hide shortcut keys in menus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
