Pair Toolbar option not accessible with keyboard #2448

You can turn on/off and scan for bluetooth devices, you can even select the mouse that shows up in the list but enter and specebar do nothing.

You can pair/connect from the device menu. Is that menu not available for you?

nickspiker commented 1 month ago

Nope. I can see the menu but tab only goes back and fourth between the top buttons and the devices so I can't actually do anything with the menus. When you right click the menu comes up (I had to pair thru bash as I didn't have a mouse to right click of course)

Ah, I see you haven't been introduced to accelerators on menus. Hold Alt and one of the letters in the menu will be underlined. Then while holding alt press the underlined key (d in my example) on your keyboard. Like this.

Or press the Menu key on the right between Meta and Ctrl to open a popup menu with the same content of the Device menu.

Ooh, but I see the bug now. Let me check that out. In the mean time use the menu with the accelerator.

Not having a great day. Here is how it should work.

Tab moves between sections
When in the toolbar use the left and right arrow keys to switch between the buttons.
Buttons that are not sensitive (for example the device is already paired) are not accessible.

The issue I think there is no visible indication that the button is not sensitive as the icon doesn't change.

@nickspiker Would the top screenshot in #2449 help you better identifying when a button can't be pressed?

nickspiker commented 1 month ago

Ah, you have to hold alt, yes. I tried that but I didn't 'Hold' it. Typically alt brings you to the menus so you can arrow thru them but I think the biggest thing is that enter and space should bring up the menu. That way you can choose what to do with the device if you don't have a mouse and I intuitively didn't even think to hold alt so...

nickspiker commented 1 month ago

Checking other apps and yes, holding alt seems to be the default so I think just the menu when selected is the one that should be added.
