It has problems with menu mnemonics, as you found out yourself. That's why its use is discouraged by the GTK+ developers. GIMP is probably the only application that still allows to enable it. > Btw, in the zoom dropdown box at the bottom of the image > window, between the value and the % character, there is a > box with tiny "2005" or "2009" (too tiny to decide which of > the two).

That is indeed a Unicode char code. Your desktop font lacks this important character and fontconfig does not seem able to locate a fallback font for it. There's a bug report against Pango about this. If you want to help fixing this, please check the bug-tracker. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Please use the Keyboard Shortcut Editor for the cases where > it doesn't work. if it has to be - in _my_ opinion, the other method is much easier to use for me. E.g. I try to set Alt-R for rightclickonimage-Image-Transform-RotateClockwise90°. With the editor, I search for "rotate". Now there are two Rotate 90° clockwise commands (plus some other rotate commands). Which is the correct one? The image one or the drawable one? With the menu method, I simply open the menu item I want and press the key. And I know that I have set the shortcut to the correct command ... ~ Btw, in the zoom dropdown box at the bottom of the image window, between the value and the % character, there is a box with tiny "2005" or "2009" (too tiny to decide which of the two). As the dropdown is only wide enough for "1600%", the full "2005" and the percent sign are only visible after scrolling horizontally in the opened dropdown ... Could this be a unicode char code? 2005 would be a "Four-per-em-Space", 2009 a "thin space" (fifth of an em).

Fine then. Please use the Keyboard Shortcut Editor for the cases where it doesn't work.
