YaST: Missing shortcuts in "Install Settings"
Last modified: 2008-04-25 11:24:44 UTC
The tabs "Overview" and "Expert" lack shortcuts in GUI mode; the yast ncurses UI has those shortcuts. See screenshot.

What do you mean exactly? The tabs are working correctly, both in graphical and curses-mode.
Yes, but they are missing these so called shortcuts or keyboard accelerators (= underlined letters). In graphical mode you cannot press Alt-O or Alt-E to switch to the other tab.
OK, did not get that before. So this would be an enhancement, because it does not pretend there are shortcuts.
This sounds like a general problem of the DumbTab widget (I just checked bootloader, which has shorcuts defined, and the behavior is the same - in NCurses, shortcuts are there, in QT not). Stefan?
Those tabs intentionally don't have shortcuts since those shortcuts would have to be unique in _all_ the tabs. Upon switching tabs, all the sortcuts would have to be rearranged - which would be very awkward (the tab implementation of the NCurses UI does that, and this could be considered a bug). This is why those tabs don't have (and will not get) shortcuts. This used to be one more reason against using tabs in the first place, but I was overruled with that. Now we have to live with the side effects. Besides, not all widgets are required to have keyboard shortcuts - those shortcuts are, as the name implies, only a shorter way to activate the corresponding widgets. You can always use the [Tab] key to move the keyboard focus and then activate the widget (usually with the [Space] key).
