I have a machine running 16.04, under Unity. * I opened LibreOffice Writer, and then: * pressed Alt -- the LOW main menu appears, and the entries have their character trigger underlined; * pressed Alt-F -- the submenu for File opens up, and *all* character triggers are underlined. But No other main menu entry shows the triggers, including entries from Main. * Opened Firefox. Alt alone shows the main menu, but *only* File has been set to use a character trigger. * Opened Chrome -- Alt shows the main menu and behaves like Firefox, with one exception: Alt-F shows a different sub- menu from (using the mouse) pointing to, and clicking on, File.
For the other sub-menus from Main (for the three appls tested), some already have default (and personalised) keyboard shortcuts. I am not a DE (Gnome, or Unity, or any other DE) programmer, but it sounds like this is the expected behaviour. I do agree that minimising mouse usage is a Good Idea (TM); even more, I sort of agree that a *common* behaviour should be expected, and desired. But this (I think) would require a revamp of the UI for all programs (since it is quite clear that this is, to a point, controlled by each individual program). Not sure how to keep on here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1499942 Title: all settings>appeance does not provide option to show/hide underlined letters in menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1499942/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
