Обсуждение: File / Favorites menu suggestion in SQL window
Hello,
I hope this is an appropriate email to this list. First of all, PgAdmin is a great tool and I use it all the time. Thank you all for building and contributing to it. I also searched the mail archives and didn't see this issue reported already..
Problem:
I use Windows XP sp2 and have noticed that in recent additions of PgAdmin, in the SQL sub-application there are two top level menus with the same letter:
File | Favorites
This creates a situation where some very common Windows key strokes no longer work in this application. For example, almost every application in Windows will respond to:
Alt-F-S => Save file
But in the SQL app, because there are two "F" activated letters (they both have an underline under the "F"), Windows will not open the File menu when a user presses "Alt-F"
Suggested resolution:
Change the "activated letter" for _F_avorites to F_a_vorites (move the menu option from "F" => "a").
(I used to do a little Windows programming and in a few development environments I would have changed "&Favorites" to "F&avorites" - not sure if that's a generic Windows API syntax or not).
If this suggestion isn't clear, please just let me know. Again, I truly appreciate this powerful and open source tool, and all of your contributions to it. (And I welcome feedback if this email is not appropriate to this list).
Sincerely,
Steve Midgley

Thanks for the feedback though. Regards, Dave
