Mootiff Menu Accelerators

Mootiff Menu Accelerators

Post by Mike Thoma » Sat, 03 May 1997 04:00:00



Has anyone run into a problem with menu accelerators under Mootiff
similar to the following?

        Menus pop down properly, with an Alt-F, for example. Choosing a
        menu item works fine as long as the shortcut is a lowercase
        letter, any shortcuts with uppercase letters do not work. For
        example, in nedit Alt-F, x will exit, but Alt-F, O will not open
        a new file.

This seems to be a Mootiff problem, because the statically linked
binaries of various programs work fine. The problem only crops up when I
compile them myself. I've contacted Infomagic, but its been three weeks
and I haven't had a response.

Thanks for any ideas anyone can suggest.

I'm going to have to ammend my previous post.  You are right.  Some of the
keyboard shortcuts do not work.  It does seem only to affect the ones with
a capital letter underlined.  I can still make a selection with the up/down
arrow keys and 'enter' key, however.  I will send Infomagic a bug report
also.  Please let me know if you get a reply.

I'm using Mootif with Nedit also, and it is working fine.  To bring up the
open dialog, for instance, you can do Alt-f, Ctrl-o, or just Ctrl-o by itself.

1. nedit menu accelerators

I am using the statically linked version of nedit 5.0.2 on XFree86
3.3.2.3 and RH 5.1. The menu acclerator keys fail to work on both the
rpm that I found and the tarball from ftp.fnal.gov.  Instead of doing
their assigned function they put some control character like <bel>
(Shift+Ctrl+g, in this case) into the document.  The clipboard keys do
work and I noticed that those keys are defined differently in the
app-defaults file than the other accelerators.   I have seen a similar
problem on xmgr, a motif statically-linked  plotting application but not
in Netscape.
Is it necessary to define all the accelerators like the clipboard's
(Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V) or has anyone found a better solution?

BTW, I do not have this problem running nedit from an HP-UX box with
linux as the X server.
but there the numeric keypad doesn't work, but that's a whole different
issue...
Thanks,
