Shortcuts in menu bar prevent searching for components #250

Open PPillau opened 5 years ago

PPillau commented 5 years ago

The single-key-shortcuts for the items in the menu bar (F -> File, E -> Edit, V -> View...) prevent me from actually typing something in the library search bar. I am always tabbing into the respective menu when trying to search some component. There should be a way to change keyboard shortcuts or turn these off completely or just not make them respond when typing in the search bar because right now searching doesn't seem possible...

I've encountered the same problem. Did you find a solution for this issue?

safirex commented 4 years ago

this isn't single-key-shortcut actually, it's the accelerators you activate whenever you press alt (when alt+tab for exemple) and stays activated unless you re-press alt or echap but true it's pretty annoying when it acts up One way to deal with it would be to need alt to stay pushed for the accelarator to be enabled (alt+F, alt+E instead of alt,F,E)

I face the same issue. When I type something, scene builder thinks I have pressed 'alt' key at random times.

I face the same issue. When I type something, scene builder thinks I have pressed 'alt' key at random times.

I found myself switching between windows using ALT+Tab. This was my problem that I've solved by just typing ALT when I tried to write something, but instead a menu from the menubar opened. I don't know, why this could be a "random" behavior.

tsathis commented 4 years ago

Yes, I also frequently use ALT+Tab. That may be a trigger for the above problem.

Any update?

It seems related to the following JDK bugs:

Any updates about it? I'm using the latest version of SceneBuilder 18.0.0 and I'm still having the same issue...

pressing ALT key will temporarily fix it

Oliver-Loeffler commented 2 years ago

Well, Scene Builder here exactly behaves like other Windows applications (like Pint, Notepad, Word etc.). 1x pressing ALT makes the menubar keyboard navigatable. Of course, this collides with search for components. So this can be clumsy.

Following behavior could help.

  1. focus at search text field - ALT is ignored
  2. when pressing ESC or TAB focus is moved away from text field and ALT is continued to be accepted

What do you think?

@safirex God bless you my brother (خداوند تورا بلیسد برادر من) Problem got solved

Walid-X commented 1 year ago

when i want to search for something i just keep holding alt + what i want to type , it might be annoying but with time u might doing it unconsciously.

Sash-J commented 1 year ago

Just Press the ALT key. It will activate or disable the hotkeys for the menu stripe 👍

seujorgenochurras commented 10 months ago

Dude why is that a feature? And even worse why I can't disable it??? Is it that hard to implement
