Overview: Spelling dialog does not have mnemonics/access keys.

Steps to reproduce: Enable Spell Check in Preferences. Create and send email
including words to check. 

Actual Results: Spell Check dialog appears. No mnemonics.

Expected Results: Keyboard access using mnemonics.

Additional Information: I have a feeling that I saw this bug before. But I
checked for spell, spelling, spell checking, mnemonics, access key - don't see it.

jennifer, kin or beppe, is there a UI spec for access keys in the spellchecker
dialog?
Keywords: access
Spec? What spec? :-P Seriously, I've never seen a spec for the spellchecker.

Cc'ing cmanske, perhaps he knows of one used for 4.x, whose UI we started to 
mimic with a few changes here and there.
Mnemonics? You mean underlined character on a button so you can use keyboard
to quickly trigger the button's actions?
None of our buttons in any dialog in any application have that!
I filed a bug on that issue long ago but can't seem to find it now.
You are right, a lot of work ahead!
I am going to log related issues for dif. dialogs since multiple developers work
on them and some dialogs/areas have diffferent priorities.  If you find your bug
- it would be great!
I would suggest not filing bugs for different dialogs until we have the XPFE/XUL
support for the feature. I don't think Mac users care about it, but I know it's 
an important standard for Windows.

Summary: Spelling dialog does not have mnemonics → Buttons in dialogs do not have mnemonics (accesskey letter)
FYI, Mail already has a bunch of separate bugs for the dialogs that need 
mnemonics. And a few (very few) already have them implemented.
charley, the xul issue that blocks this is, i believe, bug 959 --which is being
worked on. :)

Can this be re-summarized back to just the spelling dialog?  The meta bug 129179
tracks implementing XUL access keys throughout the UI.
Why? Do you want a separate bug for each dialog?
Sorry, I thought Olga already had, based on comment 4.
I add in the Summary: 'Check Spelling' dialog.
Aaron suggests to have all these bugs under 'Keyboard Navigation' component in
the http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ui/accessibility/accesskey.html.
So, I do it.
I am going to review other existing bugs regarding mnemonics and make menta bug
129179 dependent on them.

Summary: Buttons in dialogs do not have mnemonics (accesskey letter) → 'Check Spelling' dialog: Buttons do not have mnemonics (accesskey letter)
So I ask again: Aren't we suppose to fix this for all dialogs? Why did you
change summary for just Spell Checking?

We have plans to fix this for all dialogs. But this bug is for Spell Checking.
Somehow summary did not state it before. Other bugs point to different dialogs
and show names of dialogs in their summaries.

Please update this bug with an [adt1] - [adt3] impact rating (or take it off the
list if it doesn't even rate adt3.)  Thanks!
simple to fix -- just need to add accesskey entries in DTD file

Attached patch patch v1 (deleted) — — Splinter Review 
There's some extra changes in EdSpellCheck.js and EdSpellCheck.xul to use 
separate "Close" and "Send" buttons. This makes it easier for I18N to figure
out
compatable accessKeys for each by keeping all strings in EditorSpellCheck.dtd.

Re: comment 5; Mac users don't care about the first letter being underlined, but
they would like to be able to use command+accesskey in said dialogs (e.g.,
command+d for "Don't Save").

Is a separate bug needed for that?
