Running on Windows 7 x64. The top-level menu (i.e. File/Edit/Search/View...) does not have any hot-keys and when I attempt to edit the _mdi_menu and add them, I can't get them to be saved except for File. (And somehow I got the View menu to have hot key of "i" -- V&iew in the _mdi_menu, but that's not what the previous release used and it's not what I explicitly set.)
In configuration (Keyboard and Mouse/Advanced), I have Use Alt+key for menu drop-downs OFF and Alt menu ON. Previous SE releases, I can then press Alt to activate main menu, then hot-key to open a particular menu. None of this works with SE 19 except for File (after editing the _mdi_menu).

Fixed for the next beta drop. Thanks for the report.

I just loaded beta 2. If I start beta 2 with a new config directory (so it doesn't try to upgrade my 18.0.1 config), the top level menu hot-keys are all set. Tools has a hot-key of T but in my 18.0.1 version, it has a hot-key of 'o' instead ... I don't think I intentionally changed it, but T makes more sense so I don't particularly care.
But if I allow beta 2 to upgrade my 18.0.1 configuration, then the View and Tools menus do NOT have a hot key set, but all the others do. If I go and edit the _mdi_menu and add a hot-key of V and T respectively and save, the View menu now has a hot key of 'i' while the Tools menu still has no hot key. Should I attach any specific 18.0.1 config file to help debug?

One problem that's unlikely to be fixed is the following. Install beta 1. Beta 1 will mess up your MDI menu hot-keys. Install beta 2. It will use the messed up _mdi_menu.
Other problems need to be fixed though.

I deleted my beta 1 19.0.0 config directory before doing anything with beta 2. So that's not the problem.

Just upgraded to Beta 3. I deleted my 19.0.0 config directory and let beta 3 upgrade from my 18.0.1 directory.
I still have the problem where both the View and Tools menu have no hot-keys defined. And if I try to edit the _mdi_menu and set them to '&View' and '&Tools', the View menu caption becomes 'V&iew' ('i' for hotkey) and the Tools menu caption goes back to just 'Tools' (no hot key).
There seems to be something my 18.0.1 that's throwing it off. If I let beta 3 create a new config (not upgrade my 18.0.1 config), then the two menus have hot-keys.
I do have some customizations to the menu (nothing to the top level menu though). All of those menu customizations were lost when I upgraded. Is that part of the problem? And should my menu changes have been upgraded?

I am also getting this issue with B3 and a brand new config directory.
