However, as you said, "those letters on their own" worked in version 7.0 and everything before. Moreover, it doesn't make sense to require another combination like [alt]+[w] or [alt]+[c]. These are not "shortcuts", it's not obvious that those would work. They are not in a menu, and the access keys on each option (icon) are already underlined – whereas in all Windows applications the access keys are never underlined (on a menu bar) until the "down" event of the Alt key. Being visible in Windows pretty much means you just have to press the corresponding underlined key (letter) on the keyboard. Again, let me repeat: this behaviour worked until version 7.0, then stopped working, then it re-started working until 7.4 or 7.5 (can't remember exactly). It is the expected behaviour in Windows, that's why it was working for so many years. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
