I think the issue relates to what PowerPro does to try to make sure commands get executed against the window that a user intends them to. Consider what happens when you display a PowerPro menu and then select a command which interacts with a window: eg sends some keys or does a window command like minimize. The expectation is that the command will get run against the window that was displayed before the menu. Note that you could have displayed the menu from a hot key, or by clicking a bar, or by clicking a tray icon: for each case, PowerPro has to do something to note which window was active before you clicked the bar, run the hot key, or clicked the tray icon. Then it has to switch back before running the command. Yet while the menu is displayed, PowerPro has to retain focus itself to make menu keyboard navigation work. So this focus switching is going on when you display the menu, select an entry, then run a command. The same focus switching occurs if you execute a hot key: PowerPro has to ensure the focus is back to the window which had the focus when the hot key was pressed before running the command. I think your attempt to use hot keys to interact with menus is conflicting with this need to switch focus to and then away from PowerPro. I cannot think of any way around it that would not break the existing focus switching for other cases. Note that even if you were able to get a function key to select a menu entry, you would want the focus to switch back after that entry was selected. So, bottom line is that I don't know of any way to do what you want. Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
