Short-cut conflict

In the last few versions a shortcut conflict has crept in.  The Debug command and the Debug Last Script command (button in Project Explorer toolbar) were both assigned the shortcut Shift+F9.  This can cause some subtle issues as for example http://code.google.com/p/pyscripter/issues/detail?id=496.   This has now been fixed in version control but in existing installations you need to manually change the Debug shortcut to F9 (or anything else you like).  F9 is consistent with the PyScripter help file.

PyScripter development back on track

After a few months of low activity, PyScripter development has peaked up and a new version is in the works.  More than 15 Issues have been addressed and work has started on some of the “bigger” tickets.

Meanwhile, version 2.4.1 has been quite popular with more than 45000 downloads and the daily download count still remains high.
