[texworks] access to Edit menu - problem with Ctrl-e

[David J. Perry]

In the version of TeXworks I use, which is provided by MikTeX, none of 
the top-level menus has a shortcut; that is, you can't access File or 
Edit etc. via keyboard. But most of the individual items on the menus do 
have shortcuts.  Edit has Ctrl-Z for undo and so forth.  It doesn't seem 
like users would need to use the mouse to access Edit (or others) very 
often since most sub-items do have keystrokes.

Dick, where does your version of TeXworks come from (TeXLive, MacTeX)?  
Does it not have the sub-item keystrokes I mention?  Or is there a need 
I don't understand?
