Bug report • Re: Menu language mix and lack of "accelerator key" in menu

Thank you for your feedback TvE,

Accelerator keys

Everything uses the stock windows menu control in light mode.
Are the accelerator keys shown in Notepad?
Does the appearance and behavior match Notepad?

Are the accelerator keys shown when you hold down ALT in Everything?



The dark mode menu uses the built-in Everything menu.
Everything will also use its built-in menu when you customize the menu color or font.

The built-in menu has a setting to override keyboard cues.

To set the keyboard cues behavior:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  menu
• Select: menu_keyboard_cues
• Set the value to: Always show
• Click OK.

Set the menu color to force Everything to use the builtin menu:
Tools -> Options -> Fonts and colors -> Item=Menu -> Set the Background color

Languague confusion

Everything uses the keyboard driver to get key names.
What is shown for the SHIFT key name with the on-screen keyboard ( Start -> Run -> osk )
Everything uses the same key names as the on-screen keyboard.

To disable keyboard driver key names:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  key
• Select: get_key_name_text
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.
