Flexmail4 hotkeys fail

[zachofalltrades]

I have a Touch Pro from Sprint. I am still using the stock ROM. I installed the latest version of Flexmail, and have not been able to get the hotkeys to work. FM4 supports 10 hotkey commands, where a single press of the key is supposed to perform an action --
Pressing 0 (zero) or H lists the shortcuts
1 or A Reply All
2 or R Reply
3 or T Toggle Preview
4 or F Flag
5 or M Move
6 or O Forward
7 or D Delete
8 or L Download Message
9 or S Send

Unfortunately, these are not working for me. I have to press the key in combination with <ctrl> in order to get it to work.

Has anyone else had this problem, or is anyone aware of some other software that might be affecting the keyboard input?
