Display Filter Hotkeys not visable

0

I seem to be having trouble getting access to the "CLEAR" button on the Filter Toolbar to clear any filters I key in. The Hotkeys are visable for the Main Toolbars at the top of the program. I really despise using a mouse, I would prefer using Hotkeys/Keyboard Shortcuts. I was viewing the online user guide and the filter toolbar shows underscored letters for the shortcuts. I just downloaded the latest version 1.12 from wireshark.org.

I would prefer using Hotkeys/Keyboard Shortcuts.

here is how you can do it, while you are in the packet list pane (might depend on your layout!). Sure, this is not a Hotkey, but you would be able to do it without touching the mouse ;-)

SHIFT-TAB SHIFT-TAB LEFT LEFT ENTER

I don't think there are any hotkeys for those buttons. I did find one place in the User Guide which appears to show shortcuts for them but I don't recall the filter toolbar ever looking like that. The earlier screenshot looks more what I've seen and doesn't include those shortcuts.

This sounds like the kind of improvement that might be made in the new Qt-based UI.
