Bug Description

Binary package hint: alacarte

When trying to edit the menus the only way I can change an item is to:

1. Select it
2. Right click
3. Select properties

Or I can:
1. Select it
2. Press Enter/space
(This way I only noticed since I did this bugreport)

Instead I want a button below New separator that does the same thing.
It would of course be grayed out when nothing is selected.

Pressing Enter feels very strange since it looks to me like the Close button is the primary action for Enter.

Thank you for your suggestion. I can confirm this. This would be useful.

But there is a 3rd way: Just double- click on the item.

Since it looks like a menu still double-click feels like it would start the program.

It's good to know there are several alternatives but a properties button is most preferable.

Patch has been in the upstream tracker for some time. I don't see anything wrong with the patch, nor any comments against it here or upstream, and it seems like a good idea, so I've gone ahead and sponsored it for Intrepid.
