But I'm really not sure anymore and my five minute search didn't show anything. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: Mnemonics (Access keys) usage in Fremantle
Sure, but the point is that the N900 has no Alt key; keyboard slid open or not. :) Best Regards, Faheem On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 4:12 PM, Kamen Bundev wrote: > I think the mnemonics are shown in N810 only if the keyboard is slid open. > Maybe the same thing applies to Fremantle? > > Regards: > Bundyo > > On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 6:10 PM, Andre Klapper > wrote: >> >> In many 3rd party apps, buttons/check boxes/menuitems use mnemonics >> (=underlined letter in a word that can be used together with the Alt key >> for the sake of accessbility). >> >> In every official Fremantle screenshot I have seen there are no >> mnemonics though. >> >> Is there any "should not use mnemonics" guideline? >> I could not find anything in the HIG at >> >> http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Human_Interface_Guidelines/ >> >> andre >> -- >> Andre Klapper (maemo.org bugmaster) >> >> ___ >> maemo-developers mailing list >> maemo-developers@maemo.org >> https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers > > > ___ > maemo-developers mailing list > maemo-developers@maemo.org > https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers > > ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: Mnemonics (Access keys) usage in Fremantle
I think the mnemonics are shown in N810 only if the keyboard is slid open. Maybe the same thing applies to Fremantle?

Mnemonics (Access keys) usage in Fremantle
In many 3rd party apps, buttons/check boxes/menuitems use mnemonics (=underlined letter in a word that can be used together with the Alt key for the sake of accessbility). In every official Fremantle screenshot I have seen there are no mnemonics though. Is there any "should not use mnemonics" guideline? I could not find anything in the HIG at http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Human_Interface_Guidelines/ andre -- Andre Klapper (maemo.org bugmaster) ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
