[evolution-patches] (no subject)



Hi Dobey, Michael, Ettore and others:

I appreciate you working on this, Dobey-- but (and you knew there would
be a but, no?) using "_H" for the accelerator for "Select Thread" is
absolutely not in keeping with the HIG. I know that several of the other
accelerators in that menu are also not well-hig-ified, and that is
something we should fix. Might as well get this one right while we're
working on it, instead of needing to revisit it later.

(To check out for yourself what the HIG has to say on the matter, see:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/userinput.html#keyboard
; scroll to the "Choosing Access Keys" section.)

(The 'h' in 'thread' is the middle letter in a consonant trigraph,
rendering it quasi-silent-- it has no actual sound of its own in that
context. Accelerator letters are supposed to be easy to remember by virtue
of the sounds they make in the label in question.)

Why not just change the accelerator for that label to "_S"?
That would be more HIG-able, and it isn't used elsewhere in the menu..

cheers,
Anna
