I must have updated TM without realising it. I hadn't been in the  
editor for a little while so when I fired it up the other day I was  
absolutely shocked that I had forgotten that you had to press ⌘1  
instead of just 1 when the contextual menu was up. Seriously, I was  
puzzled at how my brain could do that to me. At least it's glad to  
know that I haven't gone fully senile yet.
