Description Suzanne Hillman 2006-08-23 15:58:20 EDT

Description of problem:
Apparently no hotkeys in ESC. This is problematic, as it requires people to use
the mouse when they might otherwise not want to do so. If nothing else, it's
unkind to those with repetative stress problems. (If there _are_ hotkeys
available, please underline the key in question, so that it's obvious that alt
and the key will cause things to happen)

Similarly, if in the 'TPS config info' screen, it does not automatically put the
cursor in the text box. This means both that one must select it initially, and
one must select it again if one alt tabs to another window and back again.
Again, bad for ergonomics.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
esc-1.0.0-6.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Comment 1 Jack Magne 2006-08-24 19:09:45 EDT

After some research this feature will be easy to implement using the XUL
"accesskey" attribute of the UI elements.

Comment 2 Benjamin Kahn 2006-09-19 15:16:44 EDT

Hotkeys is not a beta blocker, I don't believe....

Comment 3 Chandrasekar Kannan 2006-11-21 16:30:01 EST

per last bug council on 11/17, I asked bob lord for input.
and he is ok with moving this bug to RHEL 5.1.

Comment 4 Chandrasekar Kannan 2007-03-20 07:10:01 EDT

per the last bug meeting, we decided this would be targeted in the rhel 5.1
release.

Comment 5 Bob Lord 2007-03-28 13:24:38 EDT

This bug was proposed for RHEL 5, but wasn't resolved in time.
    devel_ack+ for RHEL 5.1.

Comment 6 Jack Magne 2007-04-13 13:00:14 EDT

Locally have progressed to where the following screens have hot keys:

Smart Card Manager Page
Diagnostics Page
Phone Home Config Page

Comment 7 Jack Magne 2007-04-18 20:51:34 EDT

Remaining ESC dialogs now have hot keys.

Fixed in esc-1.0.0-21.el5 .

Comment 9 Jack Magne 2007-05-23 18:31:08 EDT


I've done a build in brew esc-1.0.1-3.fc7 which should have the underlined hotkeys.

Comment 11 Jack Magne 2007-06-27 19:16:10 EDT

Test:

1. Navigate the various local ESC UI pages.
2. Note that the hot keys are present and operational.

Comment 13 Jack Magne 2007-08-17 12:54:40 EDT

Thanks for the catch. What we did with the cert viewer was to re-use and
minimally modify some Mozilla code.

Comment 14 Scott Haines 2007-08-17 17:09:10 EDT

Fixed for RHEL5.1 but will open a separate bug for 'View Certificate' problem.

Comment 17 Chandrasekar Kannan 2007-09-14 19:55:26 EDT

verified on x86_64. rhel5.1-client-snapshot#6
