Shortcut ignores word scheme settings

[pdulich]

Description
Randomness ignores the "Quick Switch Word Scheme" settings, when using a shortcut to generate a word.

Steps to reproduce
Assumption: You have multiple schemes (with different words/dicts) defined in "Preferences > Tools > Randomness > Words"

Register a shortcut for "Random Word"

1. Go to 'Preferences > KeyMap'
2. Assign a shortcut to 'Plugins > Randomness > Random Word' (e.g. Option + W)
3. Close the dialog with 'OK'

Using the shortcut

1. Open any file where you can generate a word (e.g. plain text)
2. Change the scheme by using "Quick Switch Word Scheme" (Option + R > Random Word > Quick Switch Word Scheme)
3. Use the shortcut again
4. Notice, that the newly generated word is taken from the old and not the scheme, to which you switched before
5. Use the "Random Word" action from the "Quick View" (Option + R > Random Word)
6. Notice, that the correct scheme is used

Expected behavior
The "Random Word" action should behave the same way as when using the "Quick View".

Hi Pascal! Thanks for reporting this bug, it's much appreciated. I've been able to reproduce the bug on my end, and it looks like the shortcut action just looks at the initial settings at the moment they are first read in the IDE session. I have a suspicion as to what may cause this, but will have to look into it a bit more. I'll keep you up to date :-)

The issue has been fixed and will be available in v2.7.4. The update should be available in your IDE in a few days, but if you cannot wait until then you can always download intellij-randomness-2.7.4.zip from the latest release and install the plugin from disk.

Thank you again for the report!

Note to self: The fix is quite ugly, but that will only incentivise me to start working on v3 again so I can think of something better.
