Why does the "KeyCue Settings" shortcut not work?

By default, KeyCue uses command-option-K as the shortcut for opening the Settings window, but this shortcut is active only as long as the shortcut table is visible on the screen. The reason for this is that KeyCue switches to a different shortcut when command-option-K is already in use by the current application. To see which shortcut opens the Settings window, you therefore must open the shortcut table and type the "KeyCue Settings" shortcut while the shortcut table is visible.
