I'm in the "treat Journal as a View, not as an Activity" camp. [In an Activity, I interact with something; in Journal, as in Frame or in the other Views, I select something.] Walter - If you look at keyhandler.py, you will see alt-shift-o being dedicated to invoke the Journal. For myself, I use an external keyboard at home -- which provides neither a dedicated Frame key nor a dedicated Journal key. So, in my customization upon build install, I go into keyhandler.py and define 'F5' as Frame and 'F8' as Journal. Voila - single-key-access !! [In the current implementation, Sugar uses neither F5 nor F8.] mikus _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
