I've implemented menu shortcut keys, but they don't always work. It appears to have to do with what component is currently focused. The problem is that with my TNotebook control doing weird GTK focusing problems, often times NOTHING has focus.

I also noticed that if I trap the OnKeyDown event for processing some keys, the menu shortcuts entirely stop working when that control has focus, even if I don't handle a key related to that shortcut.

Thanks,

- The focussing in gtk is dominated by the windowmanagers. You can't "control" the focus as under win32. You can only give "suggestions".
- The focus messages are not sent in the same order as under win32.
- The focus is locked during many gtk calls.

That's the reason why you get a lot of "NOTHING has focus".

I improved the focussing a little bit, so that less focus messages are sent and focussing became a little bit better.

I also noticed that if I trap the OnKeyDown event for processing some keys, the menu shortcuts entirely stop working when that control has focus, even if I don't handle a key related to that shortcut.

Can you give an example?
