What's really strange is that there's now Ctrl-Click to make the opposite choice of what "Open Terminal" is set to do by default. In particular, if you have the default choice of opening in a new window, and hold down the Ctrl key while choosing "Open Terminal", it opens in a new tab instead. I thought the whole point of menus was that they were supposed to be discoverable - you learned to use a new application by first using the menu items, which showed you the associated keyboard sequences, then advanced to using the key sequences later. If someone is familiar enough with the application to know about the nondiscoverable behavior, they won't be using the menus anyway, so why make them act like that? -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
