[Qgis-developer] Ubuntu HUD (head up display)

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi,

 I just tested it. Apparently, this only works in Ubuntu mode (with 
 Unity) - not in KDE.

 So it already works for the QGIS menu entries. You need the latest 
 Ubuntu 13.04, start QGIS and press the alt-key. Then a text input field 
 comes up and you can start typing, e.g. "Postgis" or "Layer" or "Vector" 
 - all matching menu entries come up, regardless of their location in the 
 menu.

 I do not know if such a HUD could be developed in a 
 platform-independent way. Would be cool if it were. But currently this 
 looks like a Ubuntu Unity only technology.
