Shortcut Mapper - Start & Stop Recording

    Hello. I am trying to re-map short-cut for Macro recording, but every time I close N++, it will just forget the mapping. If I don't close, it remains the change.

    In the "Shortcut mapper" dialogue, I change #37 with blank Name with default Shortcut to "Shift+F1". Then I close N++. Next time I open N++, it comes back to default "Ctrl+Shift+R".

    I tried to put something like "Start recording" into Name, but it does not save either. Then I tried to add a line in "shortcuts.xml" file, but it just ignored. I also made sure that I don't have any other action for the combination(Shift+F1) is used anywhere else. And it works until I close N++.

    Then I tried to add a line into "shortcuts.xml", but it seems ignoring the line I added. I added like :
        <InternalCommands>
            <Shortcut name="Start recording" id="42018" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="yes" Key="112" />
            <Shortcut name="Stop recording" id="42019" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="yes" Key="112" />
        </InternalCommands>

    If anyone got ideas, please let me know. I like "Shift+F2" to play back, but I don't like "Ctrl+Shift+R"  :-(
    I do like two key combination for easy operation. Regards.

      I just tried with many other key combinations, but it does not remember any. So I guess this is the bug.
      Please verify the situation, and fix it. Or please tell me how to save my favoriate key combination to macro recording. (I use Notepad++ version 4.1.2.)

      P.S.
      Don, This macro recording re-map was working until some version. And it started giving me a problem from version 4.0 or something. With version 4.x I noticed double-byte charactor handling got better. So I don't want to go back to older version either. I use your program everywhere and I like it very much. I installed almost every single PCs I have. And I even installed some of my customer's PCs. :-)
