Update keynav docs.
2003-03-27 Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com>
* docs/key_mouse_navigation.txt:
Update keynav docs.
* libnautilus-private/nautilus-icon-private.h:
* libnautilus-private/nautilus-icon-container.c:
(button_release_event), (motion_notify_event), (key_press_event),
(handle_icon_button_press), (has_multiple_selection),
(has_selection):
Don't do context menu on middle button.
Shift-F10 gives directory context menu if no selection
Change Ctrl-F10 to Shift-F9 to pop up directory context menu. Ctrl-F10 was
conflicting with Toolbar keynav.
* src/nautilus-shell-ui.xml:
Remove Escape accelerator for escape. It was colliding with various
other uses of escape all over. Need to rethink this.
