Description pchen 2006-09-15 23:58:01 UTC
I want to edit BPEL, but in menu View->Editor->[Source|Design] either Source or
Design doesn't have mnemonic.

And I think selecting to edit either BPEL source or design view is one of the
important features that need mnemonic.

Alexey, please see if XSD editor has a11y working and follow their example.
Comment 2 Alexey Anjeleevich 2006-09-18 11:52:56 UTC
There is shortcut for switching between sources and design: Alt-Shift-Left Arrow
and Alt-Shift-Right Arrow. So Design and sources are accessible by keybord and I
mark this bug as invalide.
Comment 3 pchen 2006-10-03 18:04:48 UTC
Although shortcut keys do exist,
1. There is no short-cuts listed next to the menu items and
2. There is no mnemonics for either one.
3. From A11Y Dev Guide: http://a11y.netbeans.org/a11yDevGuide.html
Number 6. Assign mnemonics to all of the essential functions of an application.

Therefore, lowering from P3 to P4
Comment 4 Alexey Anjeleevich 2006-10-04 11:25:56 UTC
We don't control this buttons. They are created and managed by netbeans platform.
All what we can do is to set name for these buttons. I've tried to add ampersand
to name in hope that netbeans platform will use it to set mnemonic, but this did
not give us expected results.

So I mark this bug as INVALID again. 

Please note that same problem exists for others multiview editors (including
netbeans form editor). I think you should create issue of enhencement type for
netbeans platform.
