- The menu always acts as step-pascal-instruction / never step-asm
- F7 may act as step-asm, if configured as "(context)" see keymap below, 
and disa-ass window has focus => focus should be kept, in this case.
- Toolbutton (as in the toolbutton on top of the disass window) => now 
that sghould always send the step-asm instuction

Note: if you use the editor toolbar, and use a toolbuttoun there, then 
that may equal to the menu, and not be intended to work)

So we need to find why the toolbutton does not work for you (that 
certainly is a bug). Do you use 0.9.30, fixes, or trunk?

Yep, what?
configured to be "F7" ?

This refers to the "options" dialog (tools or environment menu): 
"editor" / "key mapping"

just a few lines below, in the same section of the keymap configuration.

This is about the option dialog. not the disass window.

Simply not implemented yet.
