https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439419 Summary: Yast ncurses Software Management in 11.0 - Why no keyboard shortcuts anymore? Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: drankinatty@suddenlinkmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- 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 input focus went to the search box automatically, and then a simple return executed the search. These are just a few examples of shortcuts missing in ncurses sw-management in 11.0, not an exclusive list. A majority of the shortcuts keys are just not there. No letter highlight and no functionality either. Example: After Alt-F for filters, Alt-S does nothing. You now have to arrow down and highlight "search". Similar shortcut capability is missing when you select repositories as the filter and then try and update all never versions in the repository. In 10.3 to update all packages, it was simply: Alt-F, Alt-P, Alt-T, Alt-P, Alt-U and all packages were selected for update. A Simple 5 keystrokes. The to review and install, it was simply: Alt-F, Alt-I and you were done... Now with 11.0 it is almost impossible to do the same thing. Please take a look at the issues and see if we can find a way to make the shortcut keys work again in 11.0. It was a really, really good thing to be able to shortcut the time it took to do the various updgrades and package selections by shortcut keys. Let me know if you need any screenshots or other additional information.
