Dear ProfUIS-Team,
using the ribbon bar in MS Word 2007 shows a small but significant difference concerning the behaviour of the mnemonics invoked by pressing the ALT-key. The MS Word ribbon invokes the mnemonics while pressing the ALT-key, whereas ProfUIS ribbon invokes the mnemonics after releasing the ALT-key. I think the behaviour of MS Word is better because it enables a faster use of the keyboard. Would it be possible to integrate a behaviour - at least as an option - comparable to MS Word?
Kind regards,
Martin

Thank you for your comment. Yes, MS Word allows you to perform some kind of faster key tip navigation. But we noticed it looks like although key tips can handle a key earlier than the key tip window appear on the screen, the user is not able to type key tip sequence too fast. Please let us test this feature additionally and come up with how it can be implemented in our ribbon bar.

Besides the mentioned difference MS Word allows to directly input the Alt+<AnyKey> combination allowing a quick traversal for advanced users by keyboard only.
Kind regards,
Martin

We noticed only one difference between two ribbon bars: MS Word displays key tips after a 1-2 second delay without waiting for when the ALT key is released. When the user presses ALT, this is assumed as a the classic accelerator key combination may be invoked. If the user only releases ALT after pressing, then the key tip based algorithm of ribbon navigation starts. This works equally in both ribbon bars. Could you provide the exact sequence of steps so we can see the difference?
