Description

It seems that setting a custom keyboard shortcut is not possible without using a mouse. I could not find a key to open the "details" (marked in red below):

And even If I open these details with the mouse, I can't toggle from default to custom and then define the desired shortcut.

The tab order is horrible, but with the right combination of Tab and Shift+Tab it is possible to set custom keyboard shortcuts and the remove them again.

Gpg4win 5 (Linux):

  • Open keyboard shortcut settings dialog
  • Press tab until the table gets the focus (first the buttons get the focus).
  • Use arrow keys to move to the action and the Shortcut or Alternate column you want to change. Press Space.

-> the UI with Default and Custom (marked in red) opens

  • Use Shift+Tab (!) to give focus to the UI element you want to change. (One can also use Tab, but you have to Tab a lot.)

Gpg4win 4 (Linux):
Same as above except that one has to use Shift+Tab to give focus to the table because with Tab the table never gets focus.

ok, then this ticket will be for improvement of the usability.
