This is a follow-up to my posting in the "Using jEdit" forum. I would like the capability of making the ALT key "sticky", that is, if I touch _and release_ the ALT key, then hit an (appropriate) character key, I should get the corresponding menu item. For example, should get me the "File" menu. As it is now, only the sequence works. This is _unlike_ all other apps I have used in MS-Windows, where it is not necessary to hold down the key while typing the letter key. As it is now, the sequence gives you an 'f' in the current buffer (most annoying ). I'm not saying "sticky ALT" should be the default behaviour for everyone (and certainly not the _only_ behaviour), only that it should be an option for those of us who are used to the Windows way of doing things. It would also be _nice_ if when you press the ALT key, the accelerator keys in the menu would be underlined. Currently, they are always underlined in certain look-and-feels (like Metal), and _never_ underlined in others (like Windows and Windows Classic). I would be happy just to get the stickyness, the underline isn't so important (although other people's mileage may vary). Thanks for considering this!
