Obviusly not, since only you explained it so far, saying that it clashes
with gtk+.

So it's basically a beginners mode of menus. That's fine to me, for
course. From what you said I took it was dangerous to enable it, which
it clearly isn't.

I strongly disagree, since dynamic shortcuts is *the* outstandiong
feature that makes gimp usable form the keyboard. You actually suppose
that users are incapable of using a keyboard. I don't think that this is
an improvement.

However, there is no need to change this at all, I was just under the
wrong impression that it was dangerous to enable them *at all*, and not
"dangerous to enable them because I often bump my head on the caps at
the wrong time" :)

Thanks for clarifying this and giving me back the great feeling I have
when reassigning shortcuts to filters I often use.
