Alt+r brings up menu in addition to toggling search option

#1

Platform: Windows 7
Build: 2091

Problem description: When searching, pressing Alt+r (to toggle search regexes) if the menu bar is hidden brings up the menu, which is not supposed to happen. Strangely, the behaviour seems to be limited to Alt+r, since Alt+c (case sensitive) and Alt+w (whole word) work as intended. I can reproduce the problem using regular search, incremental search and Find in files.

Can anyone else duplicate this problem and/or does anyone know a solution?

Thanks, that explains it. In order to avoid having to re-apply the change after every update, you can copy the Main.sublime-menu file to the User folder. Naturally this means you lose out on any changes in the menu, so be sure to update every once in a while (assuming you use the menu at all).

According to the changelog of version 2092, this issue has been fixed by changing the default mnemonic. Thanks Jon!
