key/mouse ref comment/question
Hi Friends, I don't use key shortcuts much. But in trying to answer support questions, I often need to look things up (when people explain what they did by giving key shortcuts instead of words). I'm not sure if it's just me, but I find the Content section on the right side of the Key And Mouse Ref page is hard to use. It would be easier if it was not a long, wrapped list of links, with dots and | to separate them; but instead an outline type of format, that echoes the format of the shortcuts (on the left to middle of page).....like this (I hope the indents come through for everyone):
Tools Dialogs Open Toggle visibility Within a dialog Controls bar Access Navigate Change values Canvas Zoom etc.
Yes, I realize that would make that section much longer. But it would still be shorter than the whole page. And it would be so much easier to use. I can probably do the work myself -- assuming there's some kind of discussion and consensus about it. Does anyone else think this might be helpful? Thanks for comments. (Heck, I might even use more key shortcuts, if they were easier to look up :-) )
All best, brynn
Hi Brynn,
I see what you mean - I found it suboptimal, too, but also I'm usually just doing Ctrl+F on the page to find what I need (and F3 to jump to the next occurance), so it didn't bother me enough to ask for a change ;)
You could make this a wishlist bug report in inkscape-docs (https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-docs).
Jazzynico creates those files automatically using a script and the keys.xml file from here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape-docs/trunk/files/head:/ke... .
Kind regards, Maren

Thanks Maren, Well, like me, many less-tech-savvy Inkscape users don't know those tricks. Too bad it can't be edited like other pages. I'll make the report.
Thanks again :-)

Changing how the links show should not be too difficult. Just a couple of HTML and CSS changes. Don't hesitate to fill in a report, and I'll try to take a closer look.
