Description Mark Stosberg 2010-03-02 16:08:39 UTC

I'm using 3.7.5. 

When I have "Quick Search" open, it shows 3 buttons for "Clear", "Edit" and "Information", "Clear" and "Edit" have their first letter underlined, indicating that they are keyboard accelerator keys to access those functions. 

However "C" is already taken by the top level "Configuration" menu and "E" is already taken by the top level "edit" menu.

And this could be a separate additional issue, but I'll include the comment here: When using the keyboard to access quick search, there's no clear way to switch between "Extended" search and the other search options using the keyboard.

When the focus is on the dropdown, press the spacebar to open it and use the cursor keys to select the entry.
