Hello again,

I've been using GQview as a persistent file open dialog for Gimp for
the past couple days; so I just recently noticed that sometimes when I
hit ctrl-1 expecting to open a remote gimp window via external_1, I
get the output of external_2 executing on my terminal instead.  When
this first happened, I thought I just had a brain fade and the external
commands' shortcuts were supposed to be numbered from 0.  I
complacently switched to using ctrl-0 to bring up images in the gimp.

This morning I continued my project from the night before in the still
running GQview; I hit ctrl-0 but it rotated my image instead!  And so,
for a while ctrl-1 was back to running the Gimp, the way I had
remembered it before (and the way it's documented, iirc).  Just now,
it switched back to being ctrl-0.  Before digging in for some time
consuming attempts at reproducing the flipflop, I thought I'd run the
issue by you, John, (and the whole list, of course) to see if you or
anyone else might know off-hand what might be causing this.

I also have a related cosmetic usability enhancement suggestion:
Perhaps the pop-up context menu of external editors could list the
number or keyboard shortcut next to each editor.  I have all 10
defined, and it's a minor inconvenience to have to count out the
entries to derive the shortcut number.  (Though I suppose it does
probably help me remember which number is which, since it takes a bit
of extra thought to determine.  :)

Thanks,
Steve

PS - I just noticed that 1.5.8 was released; I haven't tried it yet,
but by the changelog it doesn't seem it would act differently with
respect to this issue.
