Here's my keysetter alias scriptified:

Oh boy, the dreaded fresh; - w/o my CTBs and shortcuts it always takes me forever to even get to the config dialog, and then those tiny fonts....

Here you go, same thing, I am on 15.00.0409
Its not really fresh, of course. I had to enable Open with for the right mouse - but that's all I did.

What am I to do with your keysetter alias code?

Run it, it's a script. And follow it's instructions.

Or change the key manually.

Your choice.

OK. Here's what I did:
1) opened Run Script
2) pasted your code from above - the whole pizza, not the one -liner
3) clicked OK to run it

It presented a dialog, pre-filled with 0
I confirmed. Also saved current settings when it asked me that.
Then it restarted XY on its own.

Same thing as before. No separator, only the blue SC triangle and one single hyphen

Maybe this helps tracking it down: I am on Win7 64 with a French locale, but Windows date formats etc are set to US, making XY show the date in MM/DD/YYYY. For the keyboard layout I switch between French and US - to get French accents when typing, but easy access to backslash etc. All the stuff you told me to do, I pasted with the US key layout active. Also tried to type "+|"-" *;\ > ::eval();" into the edit (!) window, in addition to copy & paste.

OK.

that means that key was not a problem. There's something else.

Thanks Sammay.
Hey, I don't want you to spend too much time on this. Who knows, should Don really allow separators in PFA, our workaround may become redundant anyway.

Hey, can you try these and see what happens?ororor add another / or \ resp. for each new copy of the PFA.

Yes, sure.

I've got an and an

: You're using the Windows Classic theme. Stop that and the separators will come to you.

: You're using the Windows Classic theme. the separators won't work as long you're doing that. Don can tell if XY has a hand in this conseparacy against separators.

Riddle solved. But my wish still unfulfilled.
Classic Theme is the lowest common denominator I have to stick to, my only way to ensure I am compatible with clients' machines. It's exactly on those machines where I need my custom context menu the most. They are heavily configured, mouse settings a nightmare - which is why got the idea of custom context in the first place, to have my commands close-by, in lieu offar-away CTBs and catalog.

Sigh - many thanks anyway, Sammay. I appreciate your commitment.

Not meaning to be obnoxious or pushy, but I cannot let it rest, either. I maintain that allowing just one command
- one command only -
in the context menu, would allow an enormous increase in browsing efficiency:

Not to mention my private agenda, of course - the use of separators and built-in icons.
