[Bug 1734817] Re: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu
Sure is a complicated story. But this Alt+F issue is larger than just gnome-terminal. As you can see, it also breaks LibreOffice, which is a core desktop app for basically ALL users. So that bug need to be fixed, and so becomes no longer a reason to remove the mnemonics from gnome-terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734817 Title: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1734817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1734817] Re: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu
gnome-terminal is a long complicated story (see the link from comment 5 if you care), BUT one of the 3 or so reasons we removed the global menu mnemonics was that even if we enabled them, Alt+F didn't work. I can no longer recall for sure, but I think Alt+F stopped working for us when we ported to GMenu (the first link here from comment 3). 18.04, Unity 7, gedit: Alt+F does not work for me, Alt+E etc. do work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734817 Title: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1734817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1734817] Re: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu
I re-checked, indeed on my system, the ALT+F doesn't work for me. This is on Bionic 18.04 LTS, which I hope to stick with for some time. If there is a fix for the problem of missing first-mnemonic actions, then I hope it can be backported! That seems the be the main theme here, with the issues of Pluma and Terminal as secondary issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734817 Title: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1734817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Gedit: Alt+F works for me (I am on cosmic using 3.28.1) LibreOffice: Not sure Terminal: Teminal ported to gmenu from gtk menu and after that they removed ubuntu-specific stuff. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745329 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793105 So it may be related to that because it works in gnome-flashback session, and it compiles with mnemonics enabled. Rhythmbox: It is also showing shell gmenu. May be unity menubar patch needs to be updated. Synaptic: It runs as root.

[Bug 1734817] Re: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu
Updating this report for Ubuntu 18.04. I made a new install of Ubuntu 18.04 and switched to the Unity shell. LibreOffice: can't use ALT+F to access the File menu. ALT+E (etc) work fine; just not ALT+F. Terminal: nothing seems to allow me to enable the ALT+F etc mnemonics in Gnome Terminal. Seems to be a separate bug. Synaptic: works perfectly; it is not integrated with the Unity menu. Thunderbird: works perfectly; it is integrated with the Unity menu correctly. Firefox: also works perfectly. Rhythmbox: as with LibreOffice, all the shortcuts work except for ALT+F (the first menu is not responsive, even though the 'F' in 'File' is underlined, just as for LibreOffice. Gedit: as for Rhythmbox, LibreOffice: ALT+F doesn't work. Pluma: works fine, except that ALT+F menu appears in the wrong place!! Appears in the top-left corner of the window instead of near the menubar. @kurshid-alam: note, all of these apps *DO HAVE* menubars, all of which *DO APPEAR* when I type ALT. The only issue here is whether the displayed mnemonics are actually enacted or not. @kurshid-alam: This issue was not present in Ubuntu 16.04, so I don't think it can relate to the 5-year old patch that you mentioned. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734817 Title: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1734817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1734817] Re: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu
For me, Gedit and Evince are working fine. Do they show horizontal menu- bar? Gnome apps doesn't usually have menu-bar. Ubuntu patches few to show menu-bar (file, edit etc) under unity. But if a app doesn't have file menu, naturally ALT+F won't work. Also there is this bug, LP: #1683383 which happens because Ubuntu removed a 5-year old patch from xorg. As a result lots of binding shortcuts are not working under Unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734817 Title: keyboard: alt-F doesn't open File menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1734817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
