FS#175 - Forms main menu item: Why?

I do not see the reason for the existence of this menu item.

I can almost as easily key Ctrl-3 and choose which form to activate with the mouse.

Also, consider a form that occupies the whole of the screen. In this case, there is no way IMHO to activate the main menu in order for Alt-m to work. (See the Help as it now is.)

If you wish to keep the Forms menu item, perhaps there should be a function key that focuses Koda so the main menu is active, so Alt-m works.

Or am I missing something?

Don't forget about those who work mainly with keyboard. It's much quicker to press Alt+M and choose form. Without even touching the mouse :-)

About hotkey for focusing main window... maybe this is a good idea. This is like in Delphi F12 works - it's switching form/code window. Also, some global hotkey like "Next form" can be reasonable.
