Hardly a bug, especially since now you can modify your shortcuts to
whatever pleases you. Over the years, I have developed a loving
relationship towards the F9 key: I love hitting it as many times as
possible. So in all programs that allow it, I assign F9 to whatever
action is most frequently needed for me while working in the program.
And so, the same F9 key on my computer means "Move Message to..." in
TB!'s main window, "Save Message" in TB!'s editor, "Copy Files" in
WinCommander, and "Save All" in all of my text or html editors. (Now
why doesn't Opera allow me to get rid of the obnoxious CTRL+F3
shortcut for viewing source code?) I like the logic behind TB!'s
employment of F2 depending on whether you're reading or composing mail
-- it's one of the few default TB! shortcuts I've left untouched.

On the other hand, there seems to be a genuine bug connected with
keyboard shortcuts, at least on my system, that has been there in all
recent beta versions and in the 1.60 release: if you open multiple
TB! Editor windows, the keyboard shortcuts you had previously assigned
in the Shortcuts Editor only work for the Editor window you open
first; in all the subsequently opened TB! Editor windows TB! reverts
to default TB! Editor keyboard shortcuts, which is a nuisance. I am
currently reduced to having just one TB! Editor window open at any
time. Has anyone else encountered the problem?
