CMD shortcut keys required main window to be active

[TheTechnobear]

Shortcut keys (cmd+1 etc) appear to be broken (mavericks?), every now and again they work for me, but not all the time (it may be closing window related, not sure)

EDIT: appears the issue is already present on 2.0 and 10.8, the issue is main window has to be active, rather than the application (which is the UI norm).

It works for me ok… EigenD have always to have the focus; for shortcuts to work… aaaa who am I to say this ;-)

The fact that the EigenD window had to have focus for the shortcuts to work
always annoyed me. I wonder how hard that would be to fix?

Possibly 2.1 only then.
Can you try closing the windows, also ensure you have multiple windows
open. Just different combinations.
Also do you have more than 9 windows, ie some don't have shortcuts
It's doing most of the time for me, but not 100%
I will check factory setups do it.

Thanks

Are you saying the 'load' window has to have focus? I'm assuming it's the
application (ie it's the foreground app)
Foreground app is normal , particular window is not :)

yep… add me to the "annoyed" also and yes it has to be the load window… bummer.

cool, that at least makes it 'reproducible' , but its still a bug :)

the only justification i see for this behaviour, is if its been made windows specific because plugins may already be using this shortcut... this would cause a problem.
are we aware of a plugin that uses these shortcuts in windows or mac?

if this is the case, i still see as a bug, but we will need user customisable shortcuts to fix (so you can change away from a clash with the plugin) , this would therefore have to be solved alongside issue #16 .
