CFA & Menu accelerator

[MBaas]

I have 2 CFAs that use the same menu accelerator ("&V").

When this happens in other menus, the usual way of dealing with it is to jump from one matching item to the next. However, pressing "V" on #176 (with the first item also matching V) selects the 2nd matching item...

I hope the description is clear, but here's a screenshot, too:

This popup menu is a Windows control, and it's controlled by Windows.

I made a simple version of your case and it works fine here:

Code: Select all

text popupmenu("HTML CSS &Validator|&View");

That works fine here as well.
But the CFA still behaves as it does, so there must be more to it...

Tried to replicate it with CFA but again it works fine. Can you post your CFA definitions relevant to this menu?

Sure, here they are:

Code: Select all

"Html & CSS &Validator|C:\Program Files\HTMLValidator240\chv240.exe" htm;html;css > ::run "C:\Program Files\HTMLValidator240\chv240.exe" "<curitem>"
"&HtmlPad|C:\Program Files (x86)\HTMLPad 2022\htmlpad.exe" html>::run "C:\Program Files (x86)\HTMLPad 2022\htmlpad.exe" "<curitem>"
|"&View|C:\Program Files (x86)\V\v.exe" *>::run lax("C:\Program Files (x86)\V\v.exe" -TEXT  "<curitem>");
|"View &tail|C:\Program Files (x86)\V\v.exe" *>::run lax("C:\Program Files (x86)\V\v.exe" -TEXT  -E -T "<curitem>");

I hope it repros (on an .html file).

Got it. It's the & in "Html & CSS". Escape it by doubling it: Html && CSS

Aaaaah - I didn't notice that! Thanks!
