So Apple want to enable selecting menu items w/o modifiers when menus are open. This breaks our use of 1-9 as shortcut keys.
Does that mean that instead of 1,2,3... (which I never found easy as it is so unpredictable), we might be able to use letters instead? i.e.,
Open Help Open Beer Open Door
one might be able to use H, B, D?
Yes, but this works since Tiger, I mean. If you press e.g. SHIFT+CTRL +OPT+J to set your language to "Java Properties" simply type fast successively "Java " and press RETURN or wait 1 sec and write fast something else.
The issue here is that you cannot press 3 to select the third item instead you have to press APPLE+3 to be conform with Snow Leopard. Then e.g. you can select an item which begins with 3 by pressing 3 but it hasn't to be the third item.
