Using 1.5.7 (1464), I realized that the command-shift-A shortcut for Add New Files... doesn't work to add files to a project. I just get a system beep.
I've seen no discussion of this here, aside from a 2005 post that said it should start working once you've manually displayed the menu, so I'm guessing this isn't a common problem. Yet I'm seeing it on two different Macs. Command-Shift-N, which is on the File menu as well as the gear menu, does work. Command-shift-G, which is also on the gear menu (and not any other menu), doesn't work either.
Is this in fact a known problem? Is there a workaround, other than QuicKeys/etc? I took a look at KeyBindings.dict, but I'm not sure if I can add command-keystrokes that way, or what the setting would be called, etc.

Yeah, that was the post I was referring to (sorry, I got the year wrong). That doesn't work for me, if I understand it right; the following sequence recreates the problem:
1. Open a project 2. Click on the gear menu to open it 3. Click somewhere else to close it 4. Press command-shift-A 5. Beep!
IIUC, once I've opened the gear menu the first time, Command-Shift-A should work. right? Even if I click on the gear menu and leave it open, Command-Shift-A still just beeps.
Maybe it's still the same bug, but the behavior has changed in Leopard?
