No keyboard shortcut for "Edit properties" — at Version 8

Description (last modified by simon04)

In v3738, there are keyboard shortcuts for "Add properties" and "Delete properties" that link to the relevant actions in the Properties pane.

There is no keyboard shortcut for "Edit properties", but there should be.

Change History (9)

What is the scheme of the current shortcuts ("mnemonics")?

  • Add: [Alt]+[B]
  • Delete: [Alt]+[Q]

As logical consequence, what would be the key for Edit?

Should we somewhere make visible these shortcuts for the user?

Aren't they visible in mouseover tooltip?

No, at least not under Linux (cf. screenshot).

By the way: At least in German "add tag" and "change tag" window have both the header "Werte ändern ?" (change values ?).

Should be "Wert(e) hinzufügen" (add value(s)) for "add tag".

Replying to skyper:

By the way: At least in German "add tag" and "change tag" window have both the header "Werte ändern ?" (change values ?).

Should be "Wert(e) hinzufügen" (add value(s)) for "add tag".

The header is wrong in English, too. I have opened ticket #6674.

What about changing the mnemonics to the following?

  • [Alt]+[A]: Add
  • [Alt]+[S]: Edit
  • [Alt]+[D]: Delete

These keys are easily accessible on a QWERTY keyboard and quite similar to the editing shortcuts [A], [S], [D].
