b4n left a comment (geany/geany#4279) @techee regarding Alt behavior: if you test it with Firefox, you see that it does the Right Thing™. Your concern is legitimate though, so their implementation is probably a bit more complex, like a general keybinding handler that verifies that the entire sequence was only alt down/alt up -- and indeed I'm not sure it's esay.
> […] I think neither the Alt nor F10 are very necessary. […] Just on the concept itself: I think F10 *is* necessary. I think I mentioned it before, but <kbd>F10</kbd> is a generic keybinding that triggers the menubar, and as such is expected to be available for many keyboard users -- e.g. I know many vision-impaired people heavily use it. So IMO for accessibility purposes we ought to keep it working -- regardless of the fact that it's indeed unlikely a blind user will care about hiding the menubar anyway, there are plenty other keyboard users that might care. > From UX perspective, it might be confusing that you see the menu item in the > View menu when using F10 after it is hidden but the menu item disappear once > you activated it to show the menu bar again. It might, but I agree with @techee that I'd rather start on the safe side an avoid risks of inadvertently triggering the menu item. I'd have to re-check the behavior, but maybe indeed the item could be always visible but if and only if a keybinding has been set to it, so it's both consistent and safe by default as there isn't a default keybinding. I'll test this again. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/4279#issuecomment-2955282939 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
