Summary: wrong / changed hot key behavior

Initial Comment:
Since icewm-1.2.8, all menu entries have their fist
letter set as a hot key. This meens that all entries
with the same first letter have the same hot key, this
also prevents the user use one special key for another
application . So it's very often imposible to start one
programm by hitting one letter.

*sigh*  next round....

You can use special keys, but if you want that key to only start that application you'll have to assign the other apps using the same key other keys...

You could also type your special key twice or thrice until it is at your application and start it with then ENTER key.

But, if you don't auto-assign any hotkeys you are forced to assign them yourself or use the mouse for entries you didn't assign a hotkey.

(If this behaviour is to be changed, *please* could it be an option, like "AutoAssignHotkeys" for preferences?)
