Windows 11 Paint Menu Options Broken OR Missing
If my focus is in the main image/document frame of the application I cannot open the File menu using the ALT+F shortcut. If I click on the toolbar at the top of the application, then the ALT+F works and I can open the File Menu.
When I am in the File or Other MENU options in PAINT, if I hold down the ALT key the shortcut keys are NOT revealed for that menu and are non-existent. For example, if I open the File menu, I see the shortcuts listed next to a couple of options by default, but holding down ALT no longer reveals any additional hidden shortcut keys. That’s fine since they are being shown by default, but the shortcut of ‘a’ (while the file menu was open) would automatically select ‘Save As’. It looks like that shortcut is just gone, along with allot of the old shortcuts.
This is terrible. Why are you removing power user options in the application? These options also make the application more accessible to people who CANNOT or prefer to not use the MOUSE as much as possible.
The primary benefit of Windows, to me, is that it has been around forever, and it has these hidden features that allows you to use it and other applications more efficiently. If you take them away I might as well move to MAC, if I am going to have to learn a new operating system anyway, and lose functionality that I like. 99% of my developers use MAC.
