in the German translation I have been adding a bunch of menu
shortcuts, or more accurately, menu accelerators as I believe
they're called. (type alt+letter to access the menu entry which
has the corresponding underlined letter)
I'm wondering:
- Can I break anything if I add accelerators which in the original
version don't exist?
I don't think so.
- Is there a rule for the choice of which items get accelerators? I
couldn't infer the pattern from the status quo.
I'm afraid that is a bit random in the English version. You might
take a look at Cri Rigamonti's Italian version (run gretl with
LANG=it_IT), since I think Cri has been more systematic than me!
My procedure was simply to add an accelerator up to the point where
I ran out of reasonably intuitive unique keys, then stop ;-)
By the way, Sven, I haven't forgotten your suggestions on
reorganizing the gretl menus. I think this should be done at some
point, but we've been busy on various other things (notably, getting
ARIMA sorted out, which I believe is now mostly taken care of).
