Hi Georg,

the alt+command + N is one of my shortcut system (which modify the application shortcuts). I've seen that strange behavior in the umenu, and I've really no idea why this happens... But anyway, it's harmless :-)

Best, ej

Yes, that's strange. And also:

(1)/w --> [prepend append] --> umenu

displays a shortcut but it is grayed out... ?

Best, Philippe

Not very strange;-

Left-parentheses and slash are treated by the Mac OS API as meta- characters, disabling the menu item and generating the command-key shortcut, respectively.

Many people have been disappointed that only a subset of the meta- characters handled by Mac OS are supported by umenu. You seem to have stumbled upon both of them by accident.

I don't know of a workaround other than avoiding these characters, sorry.
