After "upgrading" from 1.3.0.6 to 1.3.0.7 supperputty does not start anymore.

System is Windows 7 64Bit.

same here on Windows 7 32bit; reverting back to 1.3.0.6 for the moment

can you post your settings file?  It looks like Ctrl is not a valid key in 
german dotnet.

I suspect a possible workaround is the following:

1) Close superputty
2) Remove the Action_*_Shortcut parts of the settings file
3) Open 1.3.0.7
4) Set all shortcuts from Options, Shortcuts
5) Save settings, Close SuperPutty

Or manually edit your settings file and make Action_*_shortcuts all have value 
"None".

I'll add an exception handler to help do this automatically in the next build.

Here is the original settings file there is no Action* entry.

Tried to start without settings file, same problem.

Same problem here on German Windows 7 x64. 

Removing Action_*_Shortcut parts or setting the values to "None" in the .config 
file doesn't help either.

Added some error handling for this case.

Turns out in German .NET Ctrl (Control) can't be converted back.  Ctrl-F4, 
Ctrl-Home, Ctrl-End are all set as defaults so it causes SuperPutty to fail 
when loading.  

What's more crazy is Strg (Control on german keybaord) can't converted back in 
English .NET.  

Let me know if 1.3.0.8 fixes this.

Yes, 1.3.0.8 fixes the startup problem!

Thanks

The error still occurs in 1.3.0.8-2 when Clicking OK in Options dialog. The 
error occurs in UpdateFromShortcuts in Settings.cs

Almost the same behaviour was reported in issue #236.
