+ new config for hotkeys used now. SynHotkeys.ini (later also "SynHotkeys lexer nnnnn.ini"). one for usual commands and plugins.
+ new dialog to configure hotkeys: in Commands dlg (F1), press F9
* old hotkeys not read now: from Syn.ini, from SynPlugins.ini (was bad design)
* you should delete section in Syn.ini: [Template__SyntKeyMapping.AsString]
* hotkeys part in Options dlg: now read-only, cannot change hotkeys there
* SynPlugins.ini: not used last 2 items for command plugins: ;hotkey;flags . To hide command plugin in context menu, now use "_" char prefix in command caption.
+ install.inf: in [iniNNN] allowed line "hotkey=" to set command item's hotkey, e.g. combo key is "hotkey=Ctrl+Alt+A * Ctrl+B * Ctrl+C"
* removed translations for items (about 300) in Commands dialog (to make translation easy)

You may remove the "Hotkey" section from "Edit macros" dialog.
The assignment at this dialog does not have any effect, because the assignment is done via global hotkey dialog now.
It is very confusing.
May replace it by a link which opens the global hotkey dialog?

Thanks for this note: i forgot this at all. ToDo.

1. Is it - or will it be - possible to convert hotkeys from their old format and location (Syn.ini) to the new in SynHotkeys.ini?
2. Is it - or will it be - possible to use shortkeys as Ctrl+K, N or Ctrl+K, O (for changing to lowercase / uppercase in previous versions)?

Namely 1. will be very helpful for me as I had an used lot of hotkeys. Thanks.

1- Not possible, sorry
2- Yes, possible to use key combos [2 or 3 keys in row]

Thanks for your quick answer - 2 is now OK.

To be more specific (for other users), the string in SynHotkeys.ini file seems as
if you in the Hotkey dialog (F1, then F9, select a command for a hotkey):

• click "Add key", press Ctrl+K, then "Add key" again (without Clear), press Ctrl+O.
