Deskbar minor new thing

New idea: Possibility to do a multiple selection in the "Preferences" submenu (at deskbar) using CTRL button to quickly open multiple preferences windows (eg. Keyboard settings+Screensaver settings).

No point in changing the behavior of just one submenu; that only introduces inconsistency and confusion. So a better question is: would multiple-selection in menus be a boon, or more trouble than it's worth?

Re: Deskbar minor new thing

I think that overall this would a good idea to add to the whole deskbar.

Re: Deskbar minor new thing

Would the order of processes need to be hard coded, or would it be based on the order of their selection?

Re: Deskbar minor new thing

There's an old Trac ticket for that kinda thing. Being able to choose more than one menu entry without closing the menu is very useful in a number of situations. For example, de/activating Tracker attribute columns. Or choosing a number of settings of an app, etc.
