Toolbar menu to behave more like a menu
Posted: 18 Feb 2022 17:26
I love the new toolbar of XYplorer 22.90. Thank you! 
I think it would be sweet if the menu toolbarset would behave more like a menu with regard to the keyboard. Then, with the native menu hidden, dark mode would be all the better, because the native menu doesn't participate in dark mode.
Would it be possible for, say, alt-f to drop down the File menu in the toolbar, if the native menu is hidden? I use the menu mnemonics as 'extended keyboard shortcuts'.
On a side note, and maybe this should be in the Bug Reports forum, when I hide the menu and press the alt key, or alt-f and so on for any of the menu mnemonics, it seems the menu gets focus, albeit without visual feedback. This is irrespective of toolbar sets; this behaviour was there prior to version 22.90 too. I think that's a bug, I think either menu keyboard navigation should be entirely disabled when the menu is hidden---or, alternatively, should drop down the menus as if the menu bar was there (so the menu would still be perfectly functional albeit with the menu bar merely visually hidden). Semantically you could distinguish between the two as 'disabling the menu' and 'hiding the menu bar'.
