Package for Devuan: gtk3-automnemonics
I have packaged up another nifty little thing that can improve the desktop
experience for GTK3-based desktops and applications. Gtk3-automnemonics allows
GTK3 themes to set the old "gtk-auto-mnemonics = true" or false, where false
means that the underscores that highlight the accelerator keys are always
visible. An accelerator key is the F in " F ile" where pressing ALT+F will
open that File menu. You can go install
gtk3-automnemonics
from my OBS now. Its
sources are also
visible on the OBS. The upstream project
is written by Gord Squash. How to use gtk3-automnemonics, once installed, is
to modify the gtk-3.0/settings.ini file of a theme directory (probably under
/usr/share/themes or ~/.local/share/themes) to include:
[Settings]
gtk-auto-mnemonics = 0
gtk-modules = sgm-flexible-mnemonics
The gtk-modules line is optional, because the gtk3-automnemonics package already adds an Xsession.d snippet that adds to/defines environment variable GTK3_MODULES value "sgm-flexible-mnemonics".
Backstory
GTK 3.10 removed the ability to configure the ability to always show the underscores. It is now hardcoded to 300ms after pressing the ALT key. Some people may prefer to hide the underscores until asked for, by the use of the ALT key. Some of us prefer always showing the underscores. But we all lose when it is no longer configurable.
