Hey Drew- I think I like where the idea of the 2s delay was headed, but in practice I don't like it. Something that happens often with me, with systems in EST and Central, I sometimes go to Central, then correct myself. With the 2s wait to get to a new first letter, I end up in Central, hitting "E" over and over and just staying there. Yes, you stop 2s and then hit "E", all is well. But, that's a fairly odd user experience. Honestly, I liked just hitting the first letter repeatedly. I have seen that in other tools, and it feels natural to me. To be explicit in what I'm referring to: hit "C" and land on "Central Time", hit "C" again and land on "Central Time - Indiana - Perry County", hit "E", land on "Eastern Time". etc. So… while I hate to unwind so much work, in my opinion the 2s delay to pick up a new first letter seems overkill, and a bit counterintuitive. $.02 /jb > > ssh indiana-build > export > PYTHONPATH=/net/mox.us.oracle.com/tank/code/cr_7161344/proto/root_i386-nd/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages > sudo sysconfig create-profile -g location > > This will bring up just the timezone screen and won't actually change the > timezone on indiana-build. > > Thanks! > > -Drew > > > > > > On 4/20/12 3:34 PM, Drew Fisher wrote: >> >> Good afternoon! >> >> I'd like to get some discussion (and a possible code review) for the >> following CR: >> >> 7161344 ScrollWindows should support letter jumping >> >> https://cr.opensolaris.org/action/browse/caiman/drewfish/CR_7161344/webrev/ >> >> >> This fix adds the ability for ScrollWindows to *optionally* allow the author >> to enable "first letter" jumping.
