This issue is opened as a tracking issue that depends on the NB ui a11y issue 147548 for Mac OS X. Most of the UML functions are accessed through the popup menus from the diagram editor and project tree. On all platforms except Mac OS X, the popup menu is invoked with shortcut Shift+F10 from the keyboard. This shortcut or an equivalence is not available on the Mac OS X platform so the UML functions presented on the popup menus can not be accessed without the mouse. Here are a couple of scenarios that keyboard access is not possible. Scenario #1 from project tree using just the keyboard w/o mouse: - create a uml project - from the uml project, expand the Model node - create a new diagram using the popup menu from the Model node Scenario #2 from diagram editor using just the keyboard w/o mouse: - add an Enumeration element to the diagram - add a literal to the Enumeration element
This issue cannot be resolved on our side. If someone wants to use Shift-F10 for popup menu invocation on Mac then it is necessary to redefine system shortcut from F10 to something else - please see workaround and explanation which is described in umbrella issue #147479.
use workaround in issue 147479.
