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.

If the behavior stays that way, I think I will write an
undersore followed up by a space in front of all entries I
don't want to use with an hot key. 
For my work, I want only one hot key for one application. I
use some key driven app's and the normal way for me to start
them is:
Hit SUPER_L (showes the menu) and the hot key and there it
is!!!!  

This was the way it work's up too 1.2.7.

You can set your keys manually by adding a _ prefix in the
menu files.

There are no plans to change this right now.

*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?)
