A question about Calibre UI

tao · 07-23-2015, 09:45 AM

I use Calibre on both Mac and Windows, and on Mac, I noticed that in many of the dialog boxes, there are underscores under the letters. On Windows, I can use Alt key to activate those UI elements, but do those underscored letters work on Mac as well? I tried to use option key to activate them, but it didn't work.

The question is, are there anyway to use them on a Mac? Or they are just left over code from Windows, and they don't work on Mac at all?

thanks.

I dont know of a way to use them on OS X unfortunately. If you change the calibre style from calibre to system default in the Preferences->Look & Feel the underscores get hidden, but I would not recommend doing that,as the sysem defaul theme has other problems.
