Bug #53614 |
Status at
8-Jan-02 Bugzilla Patch? YES |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Post tip - Ctrl+F1 (for component with focus) | No shortcut defined. | None defined. |
Ctrl+F1 enters "keyboard
tooltips mode"; subsequently tooltips are shown for focused component as
focus is moved around. (No more than one on-screen at a time).
|
(Slightly) Broken: Ctrl+F1 pops up the tooltip for the currently-focused control. However, when you change focus, the tooltip neither disappears nor is replaced by the one for the newly-focused control, which is annoying. |
| Unpost tip - Esc and Ctrl+F1
Moving focus to a different component |
" | None defined. |
Pressing Ctrl+F1
or Esc exits "keyboard tooltips mode"
|
Broken: there is currently no way from the keyboard (that I can find) to pop down a tooltip that was popped up by pressing Ctrl+F1. Moving the mouse to another control with a tooltip dismisses the keyboard-posted tooltip, but of course it replaces it with the tooltip for whatever control the mouse pointer is now over. So you then have to move the mouse again to hide that tooltip as well.... |
