Hopefully this is not something ive missed in the release notes.
In livecode 4.0 the cmd and + key worked in the menus (ie. tools - menu builder, select an entry and select shortcut with cmd and + in the character box). I used to it make text bigger, and cmd - to make text smaller.
In livecode 4.5.3 (and 4.5.0) this no longer seems to work, ive created a new stack with a new menu to test it and it seems to happen on that as well. Cmd & - still works fine, and if you manually select the menu in the stack that works, so it seems to be the shortcut that is not working.
Any ideas? Ive attached a tiny sample stack to show what I mean.
Thanks
Andy

Re: CMD & + shortcut in menu not working?
I tried your stack and it works for me in 4.5 through 4.5.3 (OS X 10.6.6). To get the "+", I needed to hold down the Shift key for all of my tests, otherwise it didn't work - but I figured that was expected. Regardless, it was consistent for me. Any chance you have a plugin installed that might interfere with the IDE's menus in some way?

Re: CMD & + shortcut in menu not working?
If I hold the shift down it works, I had not tried that, however it used to work without the shift key in the same way as cmd - works.
At least I can tell users thats a work around!
Thanks

Re: CMD & + shortcut in menu not working?
No problem! But just FYI, I was not able to get it to work in any of the Rev versions I tried (4.5, 4.5.2, 4.5.3) without the Shift key down; so since you were able to get it to work in 4.5, it's a mystery to me...

Hi Andy,
just tested your stack with MetaCard (LC engine 4.0) and Livecode 4.5.3 and both
worked fine WITHOUT the Shift key.
The simple CMD & + worked as exspected.
