Notepad++ keyboard shortcut assignment always not working
Update to latest Notepad++ (v. 7.5.1 as of 2017-08-29). Its improved Shortcut Mapper now indicates key assignment conflicts and this way it helps prevent problems with keyboard shortcuts like the ones you describe. Very useful feature.

I like to set a lot of keyboard shortcut (you can call me a shortcut freak) thus I have been assigning quite a lot of shortcuts in the shortcut mapper. After assigning I found out that some shortcuts doesn't work and some will. It turns out that there are some shortcuts being set the same key combination - for example assigning keyboard shortcut of Set Read-only = Ctrl+Alt+R and the default Text Direction RTL = Ctrl+Alt+R.
Of course the solution will be just change my customise Set Read-only shortcut key to Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R but there are quite a number of them and the only way I can identify them is either by checking through all each time I set a shortcut key or when I realise the shortcut key doesn't work. Which, both isn't a really efficient way especially in the case adding more shortcut keys when I got a new plug-ins or when I found that I can make use of it better with shortcut.
So, given that keyboard shortcut are supposedly to make work more efficient I had been searching for ways to overcome the problem stated above. The first place I look for solution is looking for a plug-ins which up until now I still haven't found one yet. For other workarounds, I tried to search around for changing the notepad++ config files and even thinking of using some batch files with the help of Nircmd but I am not that savvy in batch file commands and I feel it's too limited for this scenario.
Anyone else experience similar issues? I am pretty much clueless and it will be great if someone can shed some light. (I can't put a bounty as much as I wanted to as bounty does seems like a answer magnet)

wiz-_-lee over 6 yearsGreat to know that! I am currently using Sublime Text 3 due to this limitation last time, for the nicer dark theme, cleaner UI and for sublime being much better at handle large file (>100MB). Not sure the other aspect of N++ have improved since but certainly happy to know the main drawback is solved =)
