[seq24-users] Keyboard shortcut bug detected

[Guido S. <gui...@ba...>]

Hi all,
sorry for the inconvenience but I just detected a keyboard shortcut bug
I introduced in the 0.9.0 release by enabling shortcuts for menu items.

The result is that currently key combinations Alt-F, V, H and Ctrl-N, O,
S, Q, E are not working in life mode as usual, because they are caught
by the menu.

This behavior can simply be fixed by commenting lines 710 and 711 in
mainwnd.ccp and removing the "else" in line 713.

I personally do not like to get back to the menu without shortcuts,
because that would be very unusual for a normal application. I am
thinking about an other solution. We could introduce a toolbar (also
very common in other applications) containing (beneath others) a
toggle button to disable menu accelerators. An other task for an other
toggle button could be switching between "life" and "song" mode.
Currently this option is quite hidden.

This toolbar could also be used for "patch group switching" as proposed
in an other discussion here.

Any comments?

Guido
