5763	Keyboard shortcuts not saved	ch70	team	"I'm trying to map action 'mapmode:draw' to the 'A' key but fail:
* go to preferences
* sort the list of keyboard shortcuts by action
* select the line with the entry 'mapmode:draw' (Modus:zeichnen)
* uncheck 'use default' (and make sure the rest is unchecked too)
* select 'A' from the dropdown list of available keys
* confirm
* a message box pops up telling to restart JOSM
* before doing so I checked the preferences file and noticed the following line added:

{{{
shortcut.shortcut.0=view:zoomlayer;Anzeige: Auf Ebene zoomen;50;3;65;0;false;true
}}}

I would have expected to see something with 'mapmode:draw' added ... anyhow, without restarting:

* open the preferences again and sort the list by actions
* check the line with the entry 'mapmode:draw' - in my case it is mapped to 'D' now!
* sort the list by keyboard shortcuts and search for 'A' - in my case I see two actions mapped to 'A': 'view:zoomlayer' (sic!) and 'tools:alignways'
* click cancel, quit and restart JOSM
* go to preferences
* sort the list by actions and check for 'mapmode:draw' - not there, so I load a datalayer first
* check the mapping again - in my case the action 'mapmode:draw' is now mapped to 'E'!

Sorry, this remapping is very confusing. How do I get 'mapmode:draw' mapped to 'A'?

There used to be once a similar problem with key mappings (see ticket#1769).
