[fixed]hot keys for menu are there sometimes not others

[brucebinder]

AB18: hot keys for menu are there sometimes not others. I cannot figure out why they show sometimes and not others. By hot keys, i mean the underlined letter one types to get the menu option. Like g or Page Setup in File menu.

Also, AB says this is Build 16 but I downloaded and installed build 18.

Do you mean the hotkeys for main menu(File View Bookmarks AutoFill ...)?
The hotkey are Alt+F(File) ,alt+V(view), alt+B(Bookmarks) ,alt+A(AutoFill),alt+T(Tools),alt+H(Help)

[brucebinder]

No, hot keys for the submenus. They come and go. The main menu Alt+hot key always work. So, for instance, Page Setup under the file menu. SOmetimes the g is underlined and works. Other times it is not underlined and does not work. I cannot find a pattern.

There isn't hotkey for the option:Page setup....
We have marked all the hotkeys if the option has one,for example, ctrl+P for Print

Sorry we are misunderstanding each other.I mean the underlined letter that one types to execute the function. Page setup sometimes has the g underlined so I can type g after I type alt-f and page setup opens.

Do you rembember in which version g underlinded for page setup?

[brucebinder]

The current version. The underlines come and go and I cannot figure out what causes the change.

[xiaobing]

what interface language do you use?

[brucebinder]

English (United States)

[brucebinder]

If i make another browser the default and then make AB the default, the underlined letters come back in the sub-menus (Page Setupt) for instance.

It's really weird. Make a screeshot?

And please search inside eng.lng(C:\Program Files\Avant Browser\Lang) whether there exists the following script?

actPageSetup_C=Page Setup...

[brucebinder]

The script is there.

[Jasmine]

Interesting, I can't totally confirm the problem but I find another problem. Anyway they could be the same one.

If you hope to use the short, please try modify this line:
actPageSetup_C=Page Setup...
to
actPageSetup_C=Pa&ge Setup...

You'll see many other shortcuts appear too.

It's weird but they all can work.

Hello,

Again the possible reason I can think of is you have to press alt before clicking the File menu for making those underlines in the submenu appear. Pleases try.

[brucebinder]

I added the & before the g as you suggested. That did not work.

I changed the file to a .txt and then edited it in notepad and then back to .lng to do this. Is there a better way?

Have you tried this? Without editing the eng.lng, I find the underlines in the submenu appear by pressing alt once before opening File menu.

If you edit eng.lng

I added the & before the g as you suggested. That did not work.

I changed the file to a .txt and then edited it in notepad and then back to .lng to do this. Is there a better way?

You have to switch to another interface(like arabic) and switch back for reloading the change. Interface won't refresh itself at once.

[brucebinder]

Since I have no way to directly edit the eng.lng file, can you just send me a new one? bruce@bbinders.com

[brucebinder]

Pressing Alt once make the underlines appear on the main menu items but no the sub-menu items.

I tried the switching languages to no avail.

Maybe best if you send me a corrected eng.lng file and instructions of how best to replace the existing one.

I can make them appear in win7 and xp but seems it's not easy to do the same in Vista. This problem will be fixed in next version.

Please try build 23 it's fixed.
