Listmates,
Text mode yast in 11.0 is missing all of the shortcut keys for search, etc... I thought it must have been an oversight and would be fixed, but after 4 months, they are still not there. Specifically if you go into software management, you can select Alt+F for "Filter", but then all of the shortcut keys are missing for "Patterns", "Languages", "RPM Groups", "Repositories", "Search" (most importantly), and "Installation Summary". Is this a bug or did somebody mean to strip the shortcuts out?
Also, the "search" layout is more cumbersome now. Once you select search, you then have to use Alt+P to get to the search phrase text box and then after you enter the search, you have to type Alt+S to actually start the search, the normal return key does nothing. In 10.3, the focus went to the search box automatically, and then a simple return executed the search. Again, is this a bug or this this new (lack of) functionality?
Thanks

See also this blogpost of mine: http://hedgehogpainter.livejournal.com/670.html Unfortunately, it was too late to fix for 11.0 and usability issues usually do not qualify for online update. Moreover, in this particular case adding keyboard shortcuts would break existing translations. </quote> That's one fine customer focused corporate philosophy: "usability issues usually do not qualify for online update" I mean how hard could it be to put kbd shortcuts back in?
