Putty Command meny Keymapping

[jell...@gmail.com]

This may be a GTK question, but I figured I'd start here first.

We're using PuTTY on Linux workstations to access a termapp. The users
are accustomed to the windows style of using the "PrintScreen" command
to dump a copy of what's on the screen to the default printer. This
doesn't work under Gnome, but I have most of a workaround set up.

In the PuTTY command menu (Ctl-Right click) there's an option for "copy
all". If you hover over any of the menu commands with the mouse, you
can assign keystrokes to them. Thing is that when you close the PuTTY
window, the setting dissapears. I can't find a file that's being
created by PuTTY to store the setting, and nor can I find a place to
set it up in the gconf-editor. Do I just have a piece of weirdness
that happens to work, or is there a way to map a selection from the
command menu to a keystroke and have it stick?

Goodness, I'd never noticed that! It's certainly not anything I did,
so I can only assume GTK is doing it on my behalf and didn't even
bother to tell me :-)

I think you were right the first time, I'm afraid: this is a GTK
question.

Oop.. I found this while I was digging through GTK searching for
information about how it works:

Just FYI. Thanks for the quick response. :)

As a followup question, could I submit a feature request that the
commands in the command menu have some sort of keybindings, or ideally
user assignable keybindings through something like a .puttyrc file or
in the config menu? :D
