I spent some time this weekend looking at how to do keyboard
navigation for GtkToolbar, and I think I now know how to do it. I hope
to produce a patch next weekend.
I intend to add keyboard navigation to the EggToolbar in libegg, which
is likely going to replace GtkToolbar (it is API and ABI compatible).
The keyboard navigation I intend to do is
- F10 cycles focus between all menubars and toolbars in a
window
- Focusing a toolbar means focusing the first item on the
toolbar. (quoting Calum in bug 54047):
At which point:
- left/right arrow key should move focus to
previous/next control
- Home/End should move focus to first/last control in
toolbar
- (Perhaps) Ctrl+left/right to move to first control in
previous/next group of controls? (If so, should it
be visual group or functional group?)
- Post tooltip for focused control: Shift+F1 (see bug
#53614)
- Activate toolbutton - Enter
