Shortcuts to menu items #3109

Open riedel opened 3 years ago

riedel commented 3 years ago

On windows typically just pressing just the alt key should open the menu. Each menu item should have an associated letter.

Top level short cuts should match: e.g. pressing alt-f typically opens the file menu.

Furthermore direct vim keybindings for menu items are not show (neither "u" for undo and "ctrl-R" for redo nor ":u" and ":red")

Probably this is really hard. But a keyboard user on windows would IMHO expect particularly the alt key behaviour for consistency.

I definitely expected alt-hotkeys to work, especially considering that I'm not supposed to touch mouse during my onivim workflow. However, something as basic as opening the menu with hotkeys is currently not possible.
