PreferencesShortcuts / Hidden objects

Hi Tom - 2 instances of MoI running kind of needs some care when manipulating global options.

MoI writes out shortcut keys to the moi.ini file when it exits. If you have 2 running instances they will each write out what they separately have for their shortcut keys when that particular instance exits.

One way you can keep things in sync is to exit the other instance of MoI, set up your shortcut key in the only one single running instance, close that down and then every instance that you start up after that will be able to see the same shortcut keys since they'll all get read in from the one single shared moi.ini file.

Hope that makes sense for what you ran into.

In the future I might try to rework how global options work so that changing them in one instance would change it in the other one right away but it involves a fair amount of work so it does not try to do that right now. So it will kind of appear that 2 separate instances have their own options but that's only temporary, they both write their settings into the same moi.ini file (with any later written one overwriting the previous values).
