I fürs what you are experiencing is a success effect of <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/2383> (see <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/2383#issuecomment-2223562844>) afaict, the original shortcut was just something that came automatically from the windowing system, rather than from explicit code in Pd, and now that the recent files have been moved to a submenu (making it consistent across all OSs), the windowing system stopped doing its work. iirc João is working on Windows, but Oliver on Linux, is that correct? (which window manager?) as said in the PR, I didn't think this a very important shortcut to begin with, but that's probably because I was thinking about the entirety of the recent files, and I'm still convinced that a shortcut to open eg the "3rd last opened file" is pretty useless (esp since the order changes whenever you open a (recent or new) file), as no one will be able to keep track of a list of 5 self-reordering names). however, I guess that your use case is actually just "open the last file" (history depth = 1), which is much easier to remember. I guess I could update the "configurable shortcuts" PR, to have an entry for the "last opened file". <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/2380> mfg.sfg.jfd IOhannes --- [email protected] - the Pure Data mailinglist https://lists.iem.at/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/message/EOEZ7IICNBU4OCAFEYXTTG4G27UXHYOQ/ To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.iem.at/
