Description

Created attachment 3495 Patch

The attached patch improves the actions popup menu (the menu that pops up when one right clicks on a window menu item) experience.

It adds the following:

  • <Shift>``<F10> can be used to pop up the actions menu.
  • When using keyboard to pop up the actions menu, don't hide the window menu.
  • When one uses keyboard to pop up the actions menu, the actions menu will be positioned in a nice way (no longer at the mouse pointer position).

It also fixes the following bug:

  • When using keyboard to activate a window menu item (thus switching to the corresponding window), the plugin button stays active (in other words: the menu doesn't get canceled).
