Axis View menu shortcut character conflict was created by CurtB
Was having problems getting the "View" menu item "Show Offsets" to toggle using the keyboard shortcut <alt><v><f>.
Found that the "Front View" and "Show Offsets" menu items are both using an "F" or "f" as their keyboard shortcuts.
It appears that there is character case insensitivity in this situation. When I would try to toggle the "Show offsets" I would get a view change to "Front View".
After changing the shortcut character from an "f" to a "0" (Zero) in the /usr/share/axis/tcl/axis.tcl file on line 347, From [_ "Show o_ffsets"] To [_ "Show _0ffsets"] I was able to toggle the Show offsets menu item from the keyboard using <alt><v><0>.
Clip from axis.tcl where change was made, Version 2.7.8.
Thanks,
Curt
