Riena's menu bar differs from the standard (windows) menu bar, when it comes to keyboard navigation. 1. When the menu bar has the focus (example File menu, not expanded) pressing ESC should remove the focus from the menu bar and return it to where it was before 2. When a menu is expanded and a regular entry is selected pressing left / right should move to the next menu towards the left / right. If a submenu entry is selected pressing right opens the submenu (this works). If a submenu is open pressing left should close the submenu (this works).
Must wait for a resolution of Bug #281433 in SWT
One more thing: F10 should focus on the menu (standard in windows). Is there an equivalent on the Mac?
there is no standard key that focuses on the menu on the mac. Typically F8 and higher are used for Expose and other standard Mac OS features and not for the applications.
F10 (windows only) will now move the focus to the toolbar. Christian, if you want this for other platforms leave a comment.
Will keep open until SWT team comments on #281433
When the menu is focused, hitting ESC will now restore the focus.
*** Bug 273796 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
In discussion with Christian we agreed not to do anything here unless there is significant demand from Riena consumers. Currently addressing these items would require significant effort, since we have to replace SWT's Menu with our own custom implementation (i.e. CMenu).
Since the last note was that we won't do anything until it is a pressing issue for Riena users, I will lower the priority to P4.
