Conf: Keyboard, keystroke macros

I just started using Win7 and I'm having keystroke trouble.

1) When I try using Alt-x (x is a Menu selection), 'x' is added to the buffer rather than the menu activating. Defined keystroke macros seem to work fine, though.

2) When making a keystroke macro, any keystrokes that require an option (move to register, text marker select) halts the macro at the window.
Neither of these macros work:
Alt-1 [T-REG MOVE][OPTION]R1[OPTION]O
Alt-2 [MENU]gs[OPTION]M1[OPTION]O

These work fine on my XP machines. Any ideas?

Which Vedit version are you using?
There have been several fixes for the Vista/Win7 keyboard problem, but I think it has not been fully fixed yet.

The latest version I have tried did fix most of the other Alt-key problems, but it was still not possible to access User and Tools menu items with keyboard macros.

If I understand it correctly, the version that is currently distributed at Vedit web page is one of those partially fixed versions.

I don't have any more Alt-key problems on Win 7/64.

On 5 October I re-downloaded the 32 bit version of Vedit, and that's what fixed things, including help. The "About" box says "VEDIT (32-Bit) Ver. 6.15.4 08/12/10" but I am pretty sure that info is not up to date.
