Thanks for testing.

Ah yea, i can confirm that. Well the time, date, mousereview and all other plugins i created based on 
existing  orca components  use a different way to register shortcuts (for compatibility reasons). The plan is 
Io removed in near future and use the way what clipboard uses.   Is more useful in an plugin driven 
architecture. But i will take a look at it and let you know.

I had an similar issue here as well when i tried first time. I fixed it by remove the settingsfile. After 
that it worked quite well. It never came back so i was to lazy to pin this down (or better forgot about it at 
all).
Does it work for you when you use a *new* configuration? (Don’t forget to backup first)
I will see if i can improve that. The settings handling of orca is quite confusing with a lot of layers lol. 
I will take a look.

Cheers chrys
