Windows key, tab, u causes system to shut down

[the-r3dacted]

Describe the bug

Pressing the Windows key, then tab, then u causes the system to shut down. I've had this happen multiple times where I fat finger tab and expect to search and instead my system just shuts down and I lose all my open windows.

Area of issue

Start menu

To reproduce

1: Press Windows key to open Open Shell Menu
2: Press the tab kay
3: Press the u key

Expected behavior

In Windows 7, it doesn't search since tab moves the focus off the search bar, but it doesn't shut down.

Open-Shell version

4.4.195

Windows version

Any (Tested on 8.1 and 10 22H2)

Additional context

You may want to enable Require Alt key for accelerators setting.
That way you will need to press Alt+u to trigger Shut down item, so you won't trigger it by accident.

Still, it is rather weird. Pressing Tab should move focus to search box and then all keyboard input should go there. So keyboard accelerators shouldn't get hit.

Does you search box lose focus just like that?

So pressing the Windows key starts focus on the search box. Pressing tab moves it to the top item, user folder for me. From here pressing u shuts it down.

That works, and I guess it's good enough, but I'd assume Windows 7 style would want to replicate Windows 7 behavior, and even Alt + u on Windows 7 doesn't shut down in this case.

Cool, thanks for confirming.
So it works as it is supposed to work.

No. Windows 7 style means just that the style is similar to what Windows 7 offered (you can compare various menu styles in settings). It doesn't mean it is supposed to behave exactly like Windows 7 menu.

Keyboard accelerators are enabled by default in Open-Shell. So pressing corresponding key triggers given action right away.
You can set it to require Alt key (standard Windows behavior) or just disable accelerators altogether (untick Enable accelerators in settings).

There is not much we can/want do here. It all works as expected.

I think that is the solution I want, as it matches the default Windows 7 behavior. I'd like it to be the default, but if you or the team doesn't want that, ig you could just close the issue then.
