Description Adriano Marto Reis 2017-02-03 08:24:07 UTC
There is a shortcut for all the functions on the user interface (even for about page). I believe that there should be a shortcut for Scan aswell.

You are correct that Scan should have a default short-cut. When I run Skanlite I do get an auto-generated "Alt-.." shortcut, but it seems that with your translation/locale somehow, the Scan button is left without :(

I think the correct solution to this is to add an action "Ctrl-s" to Scan and Ctrl-p to preview.

I agree with the solution you suggested.

By the way, in my system, the Alt-S is associated with Settings.
Comment 4 Frederick Yin 2020-04-10 05:08:33 UTC
Made some study on this:

`Scan` has no shortcut, because S is mapped to Settings, C is Close, A is About, and N is Contrast when a contrast option is present. This explains why when you pass `-d test` to it, N is mapped to Scan: there is no such option.

My proposal is to manually assign T to Settings. Am preparing a patch.

Preview now has the shortcut Ctrl-P and scan has Ctrl-S. There are also tool-tips showing the shortcut.

The automatically assigned Alt-... shortcuts are language dependent, so it is a bit unstable... I think the Ctrl-... ones should be good enough :)

Hmm, Ctrl+S is typically "Save". Given that Skanlite already has a "Save" function, these shortcuts would overlap.
