They prefer the space or return method. I didn't even think to use + and - when faced with that situation, although thinking back to when I worked for Microsoft I used it often, but this was a while ago now and with earlier versions of windows and file manager. I am guessing most people wouldn't know what to do here and would not try the + or -, I could be wrong, but that's my guess. No laughs here, just a few chuckles :)Quoting Dan Phillips (dwp@rushpost.com):http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apds06.html.enCan I make a suggestion that or maybe a change request for use of space key or Enter key rather than + or - keys for expanding the options as referred to in the above document. I am not the first person to be fooled by this and most likely not the last. I do not believe using + and - is an intuitive way of using these menus and not everyone will read the AppendixSome people would laugh seeing me taking this example, but "+" is the common way to deploy a sublist in hierarchical menus in many graphical environments, including MS Windows (just try with en Explorer window on any Windows flavour).Using + and - to expand and collapse trees is GTK's default option.This is a problem which was raised some time ago too [1], since it's the second time this thing come up, i guess we must do something about it.regards Attilio [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=382370
