We should promote the usage of Quick Access more in our user interface. I think for that we should add the shortcut to the message. To avoid that the box gets really huge, we should reduce the font size. I prototyped that and I think it looks really good. Attached a screenshot. The box is still to big, I plan to reduces its size even.

Currently we are "always" user Ctrl+3, Patrik plans to provide a fix to dynamically look up the shortcut. We plan to use this bug report also for this polishment.

The only "drawback" of this solution is that if the user has different shortcuts for different scopes that we will not update this shortcut. But I think that scenario is really esoteric and it is better that we do not trigger updates all the time in the Quick Access field if the binding context is changing. If there is a real need for that, please create a new bug report. I merged the change so that we also see the correct keybinding on Mac (and not my hard-coded string). If Brian finds issues with this on Mac, we might have to revert the change but from his previous comments the old change seemed to have work for him and we have "only" changed the way we are listening to changes.
The font is too small. You shouldn't use other fonts than the system font.

(In reply to Markus Keller from comment #17) > The font is too small. You shouldn't use other fonts than the system font. Do we have a smaller official font definition which we can use? Using the normal system font will make this quick access box very big.
(In reply to Markus Keller from comment #18) > Created attachment 261076 [details] > Windows 7, system font Tahoma 8 Markus, I would like to exclude we're in the same case as Bug 492102. Could you please press CTRL+3 multiple times and, alternating, change the focus between the Search Field and other active Views? Does the font size decrease? Thanks for your time.
Patrik and I discussed that offline, we agree that we move the shortcut to the tooltip to use system font for "Quick Access". Patrik plans to provide a Gerrit for that.
