Hi @morevnaproject I went through the code and would suggest
Shift forToolbox options and Alt for Menu options
This will avoid confusions for the users.
can I solve this bug?

@rockyhandsome1 I'm afraid this issue is not an easy to solve.

If you will use Shift+Key for handling toolbox keybinding, then you will get affected by bugs #257 #292 and #303.

I.e. if you have Shift+C assigned to CircleTool, then Synfig will activate CircleTool everytime, when you press that combination - even if you just editing a layer name and typing "Clone" word (note capital "C" at the start).

@rodolforg I think it worth to try now!

Shift for Toolbox options and Alt for Menu options
