Package: dirdiff
Version: 2.1-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hello Santiago and Paul
attached you'll find a patch that adds menu accelerators to dirdiff.
That is, like in any other program, it allows you to press Alt-F (and
similar for the other menu entries) to open that menu entry.
I'm sending a Cc: to Paul Mackerras in the hopes that maybe this would
get included upstream and so make it also to the other distributions
and the world.
In addition to the attached patch to dirdiff that in the case of Debian
would go to debian/patches/menu-accelarators.patch you can also:
* echo "menu-accelarators.patch" >> debian/patches/series
and
* add something similar to this the top of debian/changelog:
