Hi,

Which one is supposed to take priority? I have menu item with an associated TAction. The Action has a shortcut associated with it. I then set a new shortcut via the Menu Item -> Shortcut property, but this new menu item shortcut never seems to work. Only the shortcut from the Action.

Do the properties of Actions always take precedence over the properties of a Menu Item?

I should add that the actual Menu Item (at runtime) shows the shortcut I set in "Menu Item -> Shortcuts" in the Object Inspector, and not the Action.shortcut. Because of this, I would have expected the Menu Item's shortcut to override the Action's shortcut. But it doesn't.

This is normal. Action properties should always take precedence.

OK, fair enough. But surely then the Action.Shortcut symbol should appear in the menu item at runtime to show that it takes precedence?
