Description Daniel Duris 2016-04-07 09:03:35 UTC

Even after pressing ALT (good convention not to be changed), no menu is displayed with Settings and therefore no shortcuts settings available.

Moreover (separate bug) pressing left/right arrows on zoomed image does not switch to previous/next image.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to get shortcuts menu
2. Not possible
3.

Actual Results:  
No shortcuts definition possible

Expected Results:  
Shortcuts should be available for change

Also, no version is in the dropdown as Gwenview reports:
~$ gwenview -v
org.kde.gwenview 15.08.2

I don't understand that, in which Mode do you want to display a menu pressing Alt?
Default shortcut for that action is Ctrl+M (except Full Screen Mode)

The zoomed image has the keyboard focus and left/right arrows change zoom factor?

Please describe how you want to get this menu,

Well, thank you for pointing me to the menu (that is by default disabled/not visible). ALT is used in multiple programs to display the menu, e.g. in Firefox, too.

Regarding the left/right arrow - it is strange from the UX point of view that zooming in changes a standard shortcut and user is suddenly unable to continue to the previous/next image.

First rule of UX: Don't change function of existing elements (in this case shortcuts) suddenly.

how do we make the menu visible?  I am missing a lot of settings in the dropdown menu under settings including shortcuts, manage configuration, etc.  Is there a way to unhide these?

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2017-09-08 17:23:02 UTC

You can make the menubar visible with ctrl-M. In Kubuntu 17.04, the menubar is definitely visible by default. If your distro is shipping GwenView without the menubar hidden by default, that's something you need to take up with them.

I agree that there is a usability improvement we can make in that when the menubar is hidden, there's no obvious way to get it back or access its functions. That's tracked by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211304
