Hi,
I read that one of the current challenges is the cursor interaction with component rich interfaces. I wanted to ask if you've tried using the underscored letters in the UI of Windows?
As you know, every time you press Alt while a windowed application is running, Windows randomly underscores letters of menus and UI components.
I am a regular user of this because it's basically something in between a shortcut key combination and navigation.
For example on a "Save As.." window I never click the "file name" area, I always press Alt+N .
I also navigate frequently used menu items in other programs, like Alt+I+P (in sequence, not simultaneously) is "Crop image" in Photoshop (when an area of the composition is selected).
This is something I miss using in macOS a lot. It's a one of the most under utilized features of Windows, yet it's one of the most "in-the-users'-faces".
Thank you for the great work that you do! 🙏
