[Bug 392623] New: Graphical installer keyboard navigation cumbersome
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=392623 Summary: Graphical installer keyboard navigation cumbersome Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: frank.arnold@amd.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Some usability issues of the installer: Seen in Partitioning and Grub Settings section: Normally, you'll be able to activate different fields or buttons with Alt + accelerator key. This does not work in the mentioned sections. You have to press the key combination twice to get focus on the desired button and then press space or enter to do what you want. The pattern selection list does not follow the selection bar if it's operated by cursor keys. It scrolls down only when it hits some of the headers displayed in there. This was seen on Beta2. On Beta3 this pane didn't show anything, manual package selection is nearly impossible with it... The Help button does not have an accelerator. And the last one: Please try to select the language with cursor keys - this is a plain no go for me. Changing the language each time you press up or down and loading some lang packs off of the CD isn't exactly optimal. I know there are other methods like type ahead or something. Perhaps it's some personal preference from my side, but worth to think about it anyway. Just try to use the installer without a mouse and you know what I mean... ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
