[Bug 855532] Re: Keyboard shortcut - Add keyboard shortcut hint overlay that is displayed when a user presses and holds the Super key

 

My notebook has a 1366x768 screen - it is a very common resolution. When
I boot Ubuntu 14.04 liveISO the keyboard shortcuts overlay is displayed
and works very well - therefore my screen resolution is good enough for
it. But after I installed 14.04 on my hard disk, the shortcuts overlay
does not show anymore.  See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-

Bug description:
  Add keyboard shortcut hint overlay that is displayed when a user
  presses and holds the Super key.

  See the attached design "Super_key_shutcuts_overlay.png".  The overlay
  should use exact same border and transparent material as Alt-Tab.  The
  keyboard shortcuts themselves are defined in the following google doc
  https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d
  /1jqeKtIJwqLtl58Wk_fqjr9Rrgxn9zsouCYOo-
  cZsLSE/edit?authkey=CLGG9NkJ&hl=en_GB

  This should be displayed every time the user presses and holds the
  Super key, at the same time the Launcher keyboard shortcut hints are
  displayed.  Releasing the Super key should hide this overlay, again at
  the same time the Launcher keyboard shortcust hints are hidden.  If
  screen size is smaller than 1024*768, the shortcut window should not
  be displayed.

  Also not that the design of the Launcher keyboard shortcust hints has
  been updated.

  The design is attached to this bug, see
  "keyboard_shortcuts_overlay.png".   Dimensions are detailed in
  attached image "keyboard_shortcuts_sizes.png"

  ---------------------------------

  Accessibility notes:
  - For users of screen readers, as soon as the Alt key is held down, a reading of the text should be piped directly through to the speech dispatcher.  The reading should stop as soon as the Alt key is released.
  - This overlay should be automatically disabled if sticky keys are turned on
