View Full Version : Design for Mnemonics on long dynamic menus?

Hello,

I'm creating a gedit plugin that wraps uses ctags to make it easy to navigate code files on a smaller screen (for my eee).

Here's the question, I create a list of tags in the menu and add the mnemonics using the numerals 1-0 for the first 10 tags. However, many of my code files have more than 10 tags in them. Currently, I just add mnemonics to the first 10 and leave the rest blank. (see attached picture)

I suppose I could go to letters of the alphabet or something. But what's the standard? Do other apps handle this?

Cheers, Rick

Gnome tabs (e.g., Epiphany) use Alt+1..Alt+0 and no more shortcuts after the first ten.
