I love hotkeys and I try to use them all the time. I'm grateful that you can set in PL/SQL Developer for almost everything a shortcut key.
But it seems that modifier keys, especially ALT seems to trigger actions on ribbons, though there is no hotkey defined!
Key Configuration:
1. Object: Describe -> Alt + D
2. View / Windows / Single Document -> [Empty, no hotkeys set!]
NOK Example:
1. Select Ribbon "View"
2. In Object Browser select a table
3. Press Alt + D
--> Single Document toggle is set / unset
OK Example:
1. Select Ribbon "File"
2. In Object Browser select a table
3. Press Alt + D
--> Describe window opens
The negative example can be enhanced to other keys using the ALT modifier, e.g. ALT + A, ALT + S
Although configured for other actions, the always fall back to ribbon actions!
