- hotstrings can trigger any type of favorites, most useful with "Text Snippets" to use an abbreviation (the trigger) to expand in the longer replacement text of a Text Snippet
- due to large number of options combinations (taking into account case-sensitivity and other options), QAP does not validate that hotstring triggers are unique; in case of duplication, depending on various options, only one of the favorites having the same hotstring will be triggered

- QAP checks if folders containing Shared menus files are read-only only once in a session; if the read-only setting of a folder is changed during QAP is running, QAP will consider it can be written to until QAP is restarted (this could cause a file write error, visible or not)
