Description nw9165-3201 2014-05-25 19:33:49 UTC
Dear Claws Mail developers,

please add:

gtk-auto-mnemonics = 1

to the GTK+ settings of Claws Mail Win32, so that underlined keyboard shortcuts in menu bars only show up when the Alt key is pressed, which is the default behaviour of Microsoft Windows AFAIK.

Currently, Claws Mail Win32 always shows underlined keyboard shortcuts in menu bars, regardless of the Alt key being pressed or not.

It would be much appreciated.

Regards

You can add it yourself to your gtk config file.

Although, it may be good to do it automatically like the theme selection for a cleaner integration.

Reopening :)

Hello,

today I installed Claws Mail 3.10.1 Win32, which, according to the changelog, should have implemented this feature request.

However, it looks like it does not.

Claws Mail 3.10.1 Win32 still shows underlined keyboard shortcuts in menu bars, regardless of the Alt key being pressed or not (the "F" in "File" is underlined for example, even if the Alt key is not being pressed).

This seems to work as intended in 3.12.0-1.
