This may be too obvious to mention, so please don't take offense if you
already know this:
The system handles shortcuts for menus that have a shortcut cut character
defined in the resource. You don't have to write any extra code to deal
with shortcuts; you just write code to respond to the menu selection. Did
you define shortcut characters for your menu items? If you are using
Constructor, look at the .h file for the resource and a menu item with a
shortcut key will look something like this:
#define MainGameNew 1000 // Command Key: N
If you forgot to add the shortcut character, there will not be a command key
comment at the end of the #define. To add the command key, open the menu in
Constructor, click on the menu item, then press tab to move to the Shortcut
area, then type in the letter you want to use.
Also, shortcut characters need to be unique for an app. So, if you have two
menu items defined with the same shortcut, who knows what will happen.
