- menu dont need too see everytime
- hotkeys work very well

One hot key for show GUI
Other hot key for invincible mode
my menu is fully hotkeyed =)

Hi jkeks.
I don't know if I well understand your suggestion...
Do you intend that you would like to have shortcuts for menu sub-folders?
In your example a particular shortcut will show the submenu with Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Is it correct?
Well in this case I think that it's better to follow with current approach: one shortcut for menu, from version 2.0 one separate shortcut for search bar and several shortcut for every program you customize.

Alt-c -> b -> f - will open FireFox, but menu hidden, it's no necessary. And I dont wank to assign Alt-F to FireFox because it's break hotkeys in other programs. mmm?

Ok. Now I understand your suggestion.
It's impossible to maintain the sub menu hidden because your key combination (ALT-c -> b -> f) is only partially a shortcut (only ALT-c) and thus only partially under SyMenu control.
When you use the initial letter of your entries and you navigate the menu in this way, you are using a built-in feature of the software component that SyMenu uses for its UI and it's not completely manageable.
Anyway... have you really a performance problem if SyMenu entirely opens its UI to reach the sub menus????
To increase the speed of this operation I would like to suggest you a little trick.
If you use a unique letter for every entry the menu component already knows what you want to open and opens directly the right sub menu. If you have two entries with the same letter the component can't decide what you want to open and only selects the entry.
Use unique letters to increase the speed of selection with the keyboard.

If you want hotkeys for launching programs, you can add a hotkey from the Windows shortcut properties.
Right click the shortcut, go to where it says "Shortcut key:" and you can set a hotkey right there. Good key combo modifiers are SHIFT+CTRL+HOTKEY
Like you can set SHIFT+CTRL+F to open Firefox or CTRL+ALT+F, but I find Shift+Ctrl easier to get to with one hand and 3 fingers.
Hope I'm understanding correctly also.
