R devel - Dec 2002 - Bugs in Version 1.6.1 (2002-11-01), Windows Edition (PR#2350)

Hot keys for list boxes do not work

Start RGui.exe, click the menu Edit->Gui preference, in the four list boxes
at the bottom of the dialog, the hot key does not work.

For example, when I want the black background, I click the
"Background" list
box.  Then I press the key 'B', expecting the focus to jump to the first
item starting with 'B' (in this case it is "beige").  But it
doesn't work.

Where does it say they do work, please?  The interface is built with
GraphApp, and probably that never implemented this.  I am pretty sure it
is not documented to work.

Not doing what you don't say you do is not to my mind a bug, but if you
would like to submit a patch for this enhancement it will be considered.
