MenuBuilder Shortcut Question

[WaltBrown]

A common menu shortcut for a "Preferences" entry is "alt-Return" (see Gnome menu UI practices). I was unable to figure out how to enter "Return" in the Shortcut character box. I tried "\n" but MenuBuilder declared that was already in use but it wasn't.

By the way, MenuBuilder is extremely flakey - when editing menus, it constantly re-arranges previously edited menus, duplicates entries, and randomly inserts entries like "Item 22" in other menus besides the one being edited.

I think you should edit the menu button manually. Is this how you want it to be?

If yes then first, you need to go to the Property Inspector for your menu button and append #Return to your menu item.


Hope this helps...

If that still didn't help please do tell and I'll try my best to help you.
