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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
