Pamac-gtk announcements; language; keyboard control

(1) ANNOUNCEMENTS
top idea: pamac 10 to display “Known issues and solutions” forum content/URL and or detect .pacnew files during upgrade to avoid ‘surprises’. That would make people happy i guess.

(2) LANGUAGE
wrong fetching of language?
every time i install manjaro i see languages are mixed (format language is used for translations), after i fix it in the duplicit regional settings somehow, there’s the last app: pamac. No matter how i change org.manjaro.pamac.manager.desktop to feed locale settings or run under shell, it will display secondary language in UI when run from plasma icon. When run from any other app like console or far2l, it will display English correctly.
I even have this:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NUMERIC=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TIME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_COLLATE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MONETARY=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MESSAGES=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_PAPER=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_NAME=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ADDRESS=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_TELEPHONE=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_MEASUREMENT=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_IDENTIFICATION=“en_US.UTF-8”
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
localectl status
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
VC Keymap: us
X11 Layout: us
X11 Model: pc104alt
pamac-qt doesn’t have this problem. Other gtk apps are ok too. Solution: remove languages except English.

(3) KEYBOARD CONTROL
when using keyboard, it’s difficult, to put it lightly, to control the UI. The dark Breath theme doesn’t highlight currently selected objects. Light themese provide microscopic highlights. I did a big test of keyboard control lately (barebone install of 10 distros with keyboard only):
Windows *********
KDE ****
KDE with application style decorations ******
GNOME ***
pamac ** (just for reference)
more basic concepts of keyboard control are missing:

  • CtrlPgDn,CtrlPgUp or similar won’t switch the tabs
  • Esc won’t go back to previous screen
  • Enter won’t act on default button (e.g. Install)
