I made this try in Gimp 1.3.17 : 1- ALT+F, N open the 'new' dialog 2- ALT+F+N reassign the shortcut ALT+N to the 'new' menu item 3- ALT+F, ALT+F or ALT+F+F beep, do nothing (new security in the last gimp if I am not wrong) Situation 2 is still a problem... and I admit that for people who use mnemonics it's not funny because ALT+F+N is very close to ALT+F,N An other case is Shift+F10,F,F reassign the shortcut F to the 'new' menu item but in this case it's like selecting a wrong item with the mouse, we can't avoid a wrong use of the mouse or the keyboard.
