** [tickets:#137] Dynamic menu items are too slow**

Example: in the Text menu, go for Paragraph To Line.
This involves selecting the menu, and then pressing Alt,
before finally selecting the dynamic item.  The probem is 
that the Alt key is not detected the first half second.

In fact the nice behaviour, which is the one of AlphaX,
is to be able to press Alt even before selecting the menu.
With this behaviour, you can sort of do the two things
simultaneously, without worrying which comes first.

I think the problems is that the dynamic menus detect
the event "Alt being activated" where it would be better
if it could detect the event "Alt HAS been activated",
that is, has been pressed and is still held down.

[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #137 Dynamic menu items are too slow

[Bernard D. <bde...@us...>]

This is fixed. The dynamic items are handled by a timer installed just before the menu is opened. This timer was set to fire after 1 second. This has been changed to 0 seconds and it then fires repeatedly every 1/10 sec.

Changes committed to the repository ([rev. 1349](http://sourceforge.net/p/alphacocoa/code/1349/)). The core must be rebuilt.
