The items in the main menu DO have the standard key bindings, they are disabled when the modal dialogs come up
The items in the right-click menu do NOT have the key bindings but they are enabled, i didn't make these menus The dialogs are modal I agree it should just work. Is the problem that the main app menus need to be enabled when the dialogs are up? the dialogs are not using the main app menu system at that time... thanks in advance On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 8:56 AM, Joar Wingfors <j...@joar.com> wrote: > > On 26 jul 2011, at 08:09, Bill Appleton wrote: > > > There ARE cut, copy, and paste items in this menu, but they DONT have any > > command key bindings, maybe that is the problem? i didn't create this > menu > > in the first place > > > Yes, that is at least part of the problem.
