Mnemonics

hi there,

could someone explain to me what is the idea of "mnemonics" in GTK2 / GIMP 1.3 ?

All I had seen until now is that some keys are reserved and cannot be used as dinamic shortcuts, and that the space bar serve as a temporary call to the move tool. I do not even know if this feature is related to the mnemonics.

Thank you so far.

The "space bar pushes Move tool" feature is completely unrelated. Mnemonics are a way to quickly access menus as well as widgets by keypresses. You will find a coupld of underlined characters in the 1.3 user interfaces. These are mnemonics. Pressing Alt- will activate the associated widget. If multiple widgets with the same mnemonic exist (which should only rarely be the case), only the focus will move to the first widget, subsequent key presses cycle through the widgets that share a mnemonic key.

Was that clear enough?
