New Keyboard Shortcuts and Menu Accelerators
Posted: Wed May 11, 2016 11:27 pm
(I updated the post to add menu accelerators. I was calling everything a keyboard shortcut which is incorrect.)
I'm enjoying the new keyboard shortcuts and menu accelerators. Thanks!
I had a few comments about them.
The typing the "Jump Map" menu accelerator (control-J) brings up the Jump Map as expected. When the Jump Map is displayed,
the checkmark on the Display associated with the command is not visible. To dismiss the jump map, I would like to
be able to type control-J again. The only way I have found to dismiss it with the keyboard is to type "ESC" which seems inconsistent.
I could always right-click but it would be nice to be able to dismiss the Jump Map from the keyboard.
The menu accelerators for the Display menu seem to toggle things on or off except for the "Covered Arc" accelerator (control-A).
I expected that executing the accelerator would turn on or turn off the display of the covered arc since the menu accelerator
was on the Display menu. Typing control-A actually moves the covered arc counterclockwise (only if it is already displayed). If it is not
displayed, the direction indicator in the corner of the counter moves This appears to be doing the same thing as the "a" keyboard
shortcut rather than providing a Display function.
Thanks,
phil
