There is a mnemonic conflict in Main menu > Window > [P]alette and [P]roperties.
Comment 1 David Simonek 2007-07-19 16:19:06 UTC 
Yes, but repeat pressing of Alt+P will cycle between the two, isn't it right? I think we are off the letters and that's
why two 'P' as first letters were chosen. Ccing Jano to confirm or deny.

Feel free to reopen if you find better mnemonic, thank you.
Comment 2 jrojcek 2007-07-19 16:41:35 UTC 
I plan to put mnemonics into the main menu UI spec. When doing that, I would try to find separate mnemonics for all menu items. But for now, I think 
pressing Alt-P twice is okay IMO.
Comment 3 Petr Chytil 2007-08-02 13:40:48 UTC 
Mnemonics should be set according to this permanent UI spec:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/MainMenu

There are more conflicts and missing mnemonics in Window menu. I'll try to find them and file separate issues to correct
modules.

Bundles for palette and properties:

Palette(51:69):
NbBundle trace: #51 = org/netbeans/modules/palette/Bundle.properties

Properties(53:13):
NbBundle trace: #53 = org/netbeans/core/actions/Bundle.properties
