You can quickly run out of shortcuts, but because they are multilevel, mnemonics can still be used to quickly access a feature (alt+f,b,g sequence to access gaussian blur for example). I find the preference toggle to be a best solution to the two clashing features. I do not want access keys/mnemonics to go away because of dynamic shortcuts. Another solution would be to not use single key shortcuts, so that those work for all the mnemonics, but I find that more limiting than the preference toggle, since I usually set up shortcuts once and then work with the session. cheers P.S.: if my previous mail actually made it, accept my apology for double posting. -- Jakub Steiner <jimmac@xxxxxxxxxx>
