Keyboard accelerators for Classic Shell has never functioned properly for me. For classic start menus in Windows, as long as the next sub menu hasn't popped up yet, and you're scrolling, the accelerators will work for files and folders in the directory where your cursor is placed. This is the way it...

Thanks for your quick reply. I kinda suspected as much. :( It's amazing to me how M$ can break basic functionality of one of their most important component, and do absolutely nothing about it! Also, there is this really annoyng thing with files and folder names, where you can't directly change the n...

There's a problem in Windows Explorer that's been around since at least Win7. The problem occurs if you're using the 'List' view, and you're browsing inside of a folder with lots of files.. When trying to double-click on a file on the far right side of the screen, Explorer registers the first click,...

According to Ivo (the developer), "It is something that can't be depended on. The metrics in the tree depend on many external factors – DPI, text size, icon size. The root cause of the problem is that for some reason Windows 10 sets the line height to be 8 pixels and then uses 3 lines to repre...

It worked only if you set the "tree item spacing" to 4 or higher. Otherwise, with tree spacing set to any value lower than 4, the icons got all corrupted in 'Windows XP Classic' nav pane style due to a Windows 10 bug. Should be an extremely simple fix then.. As a workaround, just make Cla...

Maybe you can try increasing the hover delay so the menus don't open so quickly.
Well, then I'll have to click to open sub-menus, and I would have exchanged one minor annoyance for another. Besides, for GauravK it seems to work like I'd like it to.

Nope they work for me on Classic Shell too when scrolling, in all three cascading styles of the menu. So I am unable to repro what you are experiencing. That's strange.

On Windows XP (which I still proudly happen to have), accelerators work for me even if I am scrolling. So I don't understand the request either.
That's exactly my point.. In Classic Shell, accelerators doesn't work when scrolling!

LOL! Had to fire up my old XP computer to confirm this now.. You're right, but this is what I ment: In WinXP, WHEN scrolling a menu, accelerators work within the menu that you're currently scrolling.

All I know is that in WinXP, when scrolling 'Programs', I could hit a letter on my keyboard and it would function as an accelerator within 'Programs', not for any of its sub-menus. ..But hey, it's no big deal, really.

When a sub-menu is opened, then the key is used to navigate that menu. Press Esc to go back to the Programs menu and then G will work. Confirmed. I do not consider this to be the expected behaviour though. IMHO, it should be consistent with the behaviour in the old M$ start menus, where the keyboar...

e.g. when scrolling 'Programs' in the start menu, I'd like to be able to quickly highlight the 'Windows Accessories' sub-folder (or whichever sub-folder starting with 'W' that comes first) simply by hitting "W" on my keybord.
