Re: [PATCH] Pcbnew menu bar

 

Michael,

I figured out why we are not using IS_ACCELERATOR for these menu entries. AddHotkeyName() adds a "+Alt+" to the hotkey so this is *not* what we want so I used the original 0003 patch. I apologize for the confusion. I merged this and you 0004 patch. We can make any tweaks to it if it's not exactly what we want. Thank you for your contribution to KiCad.

Cheers,

Wayne

In every other app New, Open, Save, Save As and Print are standard
hotkeys and not accelerators. They don't have the modifier key, so are
the "standard" keyboard shortcuts.

Nevertheless, please find attached new patches for review. These
accompany both of Jeffs dialog patches. Hopefully I didn't break
anything, implementing the sketch modes removed from the dialogs
involved fiddling with the GAL tools framework.

Cheers,
Michael

It should be.  We really need to get out of the bad habit of having
toolbar only access to tools and settings.  I'm sure there are some in
the schematic editor, symbol editor, and footprint editor as well.

The Fill/Outline stuff is included.  Not sure about High Contrast mode, but it probably should be.

Hi all,

Probably not too relevant, but can we have a workaround of https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1575097 (hidden icons) by adding
View -> High Contrast (Checkable like the "Flip board view")
View -> Tracks -> Outline (Radio button like the canvas selector)
               -> Fill
View -> Vias   -> Outline
               -> Fill
View -> Pads   -> Outline
               -> Fill

to the menu entries?
