- Okay, I understand the proposal more clearly now. I feel that there is
- something missing, though. There does not seem to be a way for the user
- to assign a keyboard shortcut to a non-standard menu entry. For example,
- say that a program has no keyboard shortcut for the menu entry "Fiddle".
- The user wants one; how can it be done?
-
- The reason that I think that this should be done in the DEFAULT.SYS file
- is that it is more convenient for the user (setting the keyboard shortcuts
- all at the same time) and easier to implement for the programmer (only one
- parsing routine is required).
-
- (This may be addressed by the idea of having application group codes,
- but the proposal is a little hazy on just how. What would prevent one
- program from using the same unique codes that another program is
- using, for example?)
