Re: [fltk/fltk] Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar menu item shortcuts using Escape or Tab do not work properly on Mac (Issue #469) Daniel Harding Jul 26, 2022

I don't see how you can use either escape or tab as menu shortcuts under Linux or any other FLTK platform.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this. I had no speedbumps/roadblocks at all getting Escape or Tab to work under Linux or Windows.
The only uncooperative combination is Mac using Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar with Shift+Tab (Escape and Tab work fine, and all shortcuts work fine using Fl_Menu_Bar instead of Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar).

The FLTK source code processes tab as a command to move to the next menu item, shift-tab to the previous one, and escape to close the menu.

In my testing, this is only the case while the menu is open. With the menu closed, menu item shortcuts involving Escape or Tab work as expected, which luckily is the desired behavior for me.
