Sorry, I think I didn't specify this clearly enough. I mean, when the focus is on one button I can activate any other button with the Alt-key support. Space bar only works if the widget has the focus, and switching to one control out of dozens can be very time consuming. What I meant, was that e.g. if the focus is on the button "&Sample button" I could activate the button "&Another button" by just pressing 'A' instead of Alt-'A'. (On american keyboard this is not so annoying since you have a second Alt-button right to the space bar, but on a german keyboard layout, I don't have this second Alt button, which means that I often need both hands to activate a shortcut). This really made me wondering when I tried to switch to Linux since I am a keyboard guy, and I always thougth linux was much better than windows in this area, but actually I found out that Windows keyboard accessibility support is even better than Linux's. -- Best regards, Martin mailto:stubenschrott@gmx.net
