Redefined Hotkey still in menu

If you redefine a hotkey it is still displayed in the menu.

I know that the hotkeys displayed in the menu are written in the Text files of the Menu (.mnu) and I deleted the corresponding values in my file, but I wanted to mention that this bug exists.
I know that this bug has a very small impact but is very difficult to solve so I don't expect the solution for this release. Perhaps in TC 8.0 :wink:

this is no BUG.
if u change a Hotkey you have to
change the menu-file for yourself.
Should be that hard to do.

PS: You can try the UltraEditors for such a Case :D

The problem behind this is that you can assign more than one hotkey to a command. In case there are more than hotkey for a command it ambigious which hotkey should be displayed.
Before updating menus properly something like a default must be introduced.

For me everything that does not work as expected is a bug. And I do not expect that I have to edit a file to delete the entry of a hotkey in the menu when I am able to delete the assignment without editing a file.

As I mentioned for me it is no problem to edit the file (I do it with Notepad++) but IMHO this is not the way it should work.

This has been discussed before. I guess it won't be solved before we have the suggested Unified Command System.

Just for your information. We actually do have a unified command system - at least basically. Unified command system means internal and user commands can be used in the the same way. This is finally possible :-D
In the course of time I have added several other aspects to the unified command system which deal with command handling inclusing this one. I will update the article in time to make clear what is left to do.

You have a choice:
If you change hotkeys using the Ultra TC Hotkey Editor, you can also tell it to autoupdate your menu file. And, you can also use it solely for the latter purpose, i.e. change your hotkeys within TC and afterwards just call the "Export to menu"-feature within the Ultra editor to "fix" your menu file.

Also it can handle more than one hotkey for a command, it displays them all.

I don't recommend you to try the editors without a backup of your TC config right NOW, because there may be issues due to TC 7 changes.
