Keyboard shortcuts open the wrong workspace in TextPad

[Mr. Code Monkey]

This is a ¿new? variant of "Workspaces have multiple new bugs in TextPad 9".
It (still) occurs in TextPad 9.7.1 and grows more annoying.

To reproduce:

1. Have several saved workspaces. (It's possible that the bug now requires at least 11, but that's NA since I use dozens of workspaces.)
2. Open the workspace menu via keyboard shortcut (Alt-f, then W).
3. Then press the number key for the workspace you want. EG "3". See pic below.
4. The wrong workspace will open.

Please fix this problem.

From a technical aspect: should a menu have the same accelerator key ("1") for more than one item (same applies when no accelerator keys are defined but multiple item captions start with the same letter) then pressing that key should only highlight the menu item, not "click" it. As in: pressing "1" multiple times would cycle highlighting all the items.

[Mr. Code Monkey]

Correct. The same accelerator should not appear twice in the same context. An easy band-aid for that, in this case, is to merely use 10 accelerators max. This would work for me since the "Recents" are ordered with the more infrequent ones last.

Also. this site will correctly email me this topic. But, even though it's watched and all relevant options are set, still no alerts on this, or any, topic.

Looks like this has been fixed, in version 9.8.0, by just not providing accelerators for any but the first ten workspaces.

Good 'nuff; thanks.
