393841 - [Ctrl]+[A] shortcut conflict and shortcut request for Advanced Search

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations Graveyard :: MozillaTranslator, defect)

Description

[RickieES aka Ricardo Palomares]

In bug 363833 some changes were done to shortcuts and accesskeys in MozillaTranslator. Specifically, [Ctrl]+[A] shortcut was added to the "Edit -> QA Queries -> All above at once" menu option, which runs a series of QA queries on localization.

However, [Ctrl]+[A] is used to select all rows in a table when the focus is in it, like usually happens while working in MT, since all Chrome View windows use tables to present data.

So the shortcut must be changed. There is not a lot of available letters, so I'm thinking of two options:

[Ctrl]+[B]
[Shift]+[Ctrl]+[A]

I'm in favour of the first one, but I'd like to know other user opinions.

In the end, I've gone with the [Shift] + [Ctrl] + [A] for All above at once menu option.

I have been suggested to add also a shortcut for Advanced Search, to which I have assigned [Shift] + [Ctrl] + [F].

The current shortcut list is as follows:

Reserved for common use:
[C] -> Copy
[X] -> Cut
[V] -> Paste
[A] -> Select All
[Z] -> Undo (in edits)
[Y] -> Redo (in edits)


[M] File / Manage Products
[U] File / Update Product
[S] File / Save Glossary
[T] File / Save Settings
[Q] File / Quit

Patch uploaded to CVS.
