[cdt-dev] Mnemonics in C/C++ Search dialog

[Vivian Kong <vivkong@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

We currently have 28 mnemonics in the C/C++ search dialog box.  Therefore
some controls are using the same mnemonic (e.g. "Method" and "Macro" in the
"Search for" pane).  For most mnemonics, if there are duplicates, pressing
the Alt key repeatedly will bring focus to each control in turn.  The
control is then activated only when spacebar is pressed.  However, it is
not possible to cycle through duplicated mnemonics using Alt key with
checkboxes.

I'm not sure how to approach this.  Is it a good idea to remove mnemonics
from the "Search for"checkboxes?  I would appreciate any input you may have
on this.

Thanks!
