Description Andrew Walker 2007-03-22 18:47:40 UTC

Version:           HEAD (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

PROBLEM:

At present the JavaScript console is not usable due to the presence of default shortcuts for the data wizard (W) and 2D plot(2)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE;

Start Kst
Enable the JavaScript extension if necessary
Select Tools... Show JavaScript Console
Enter a command

RESULTS:

Any command that uses 'W' or '2' will launch the associated shortcut

EXPECTED RESULTS:

No shortcut should be launched when typing into the JavaScript console

Comment 1 Andrew Walker 2007-03-22 18:49:15 UTC

It probably makes most sense not to use shortcuts which are a single alphanumeric key (W and 2).

Though this still does not save the user from themselves if they were to create such shortcuts on their own.

Comment 2 Netterfield 2007-03-28 23:26:35 UTC

I confirm this bug.

Comment 3 George Staikos 2007-03-29 20:29:44 UTC

One-key shortcuts are actually generally against KDE UI policy (see  
KMail changes).  I could switch them to CTRL+ALT+W and CTRL+2.   
Shortcuts will always trigger top-level so changing the keys is the  
only choice.
