When you press and hold Alt most menu items and buttons get one letter underlined, to indicate that you can press Alt plus that letter (called access key) to activate the menu item or button in question. Is it possible to always underline the access key, instead of only when alt is held? As a user who avoids the mouse that would be very helpful.

I believe this can be achived by editing

~/.gtkrc-2.0

and adding

gtk-auto-mnemonics = 0

You need to restart any app to see effect.

Holding alt does nothing when I try.
But, as I'm trying things as I write, alt+the first letter of a menu item in Thunar opens the drop-down menu. That's cool.

Is it a way to make The whole trisquel work like VimFX?
If it is, I'm interested.
In that and other ways to go mouseless.
For now I use a keyboard-driven window manager, and VimFX for the browser.
I can move around somehow in Thunar (plus I should be able to set keyboard shortcuts for that).

Any other ways to go mouseless?
I just learned about Zathura for example.
I know it's also possible to apply a script that makes the mouse work from the keyboard.
I suppose that learning the shortcuts specific to each program is something I've overlooked as well.

Still can't figure out that alt thing though.
Any help appreciated.

EDIT:
Nevermind, I really should take more time to read sometimes.
I needed a LONG alt press.
Not what I expected (limited to the menu items mostly), but still useful.
