OS X offers the ability for you to set custom keyboard shortcuts for
any menu in any app. Perhaps something is overriding things?

the app i'm developing lets users specify the keyboard shortcuts to
use for menu items. this has been working for several months now.
however, i noticed yesterday that if i attempt to set a shortcut
(via -[NSMenuItem setKeyEquivalent]) of command-1 / command-2 /
command-3 / command-4 it no longer "takes".
while debugging, i've discovered the following: if i examine the
menu item before and after calling setKeyEquivalent, i see the
private iVar _keyEquivalent changing properly. however if i "po
[menuItem keyEquivalent]" from the debugger console window the
debugger prints out <object returned empty description> and the
menu does not show the shortcut as being set. (note that i do also
use setKeyEquivalentModifierMask to set the appropriate mask.)
i can set shortcuts to other command-<X> (where X is anything but
1, 2, 3, or 5) and if i set a shortcut to use modifier keys other
than or in conjunction with the command key it also works.
additonally, if i set menu item shortcuts in IB, it works fine for
command 1-4/
now i know (after many frustrating hours of various debugging and
testing) that this has something to do with my user account,
because if i login as a different user or boot from a different
partition, the problem goes away. i also know that this is not
related to any of my login startup items (as set in system prefs
for my account) because if i remove all of them the problem persists.
has anyone encountered anything like this before?
can anyone suggest how i can find this problem? or point me to some
documentation as to how to find the problem?
thanx very much,
ken
