Description Sabine Faure 2009-08-16 23:37:58 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

- Launch KAddressBook
- Type in Ctrl+N which is the shortcut for 'New Contact'

A 'Ambiguous shortcut detected' pop up dialogue appears.
In it there is the following message :
'The key sequence 'Ctrl+N' is ambiguous. Use 'Configure Shortcuts' from the 'Settings' menu to solve the ambiguity. No action will be triggered.

I could not find what was the other functionality that had the same shortcut.

But I think the default shortcut for creating a new contact should work.

Hej Sabine,

I can't reproduce your described behaviour here, typing 'Ctrl+N'
opens the 'New Contact' dialog fine.
Do you have any additional global shortcuts set?

Ciao,
Tobias

Comment 2 Sabine Faure 2009-09-03 01:01:03 UTC

I still have the same bug.
No, I do not think I have any global shortcut set. I certainely did not set any myself.
But how can I make sure?

I checked and Ctrl+N works in the following parts of Kontact:
- Summary: opens a 'Composer' dialogue
- Mail: opens a 'Composer' dialogue
- Calendar: opens a 'New Event' dialogue
- To-do List: opens 'a New to-do' dialogue
- Journal: opens a 'New Journal' dialogue

It does NOT work for the following parts of Kontact:
- Contacts: 'Ambiguous shortcut detected' dialogue
- Notebooks: same dialogue
- Popup Notes: same dialogue
- Time Tracker: same dialogue

How is it possible that this shortcut works for some applications and not for some others?

SVN commit 1019478 by tokoe:

Disable KAddressBooks Ctrl+N shortcut, since Kontact uses
this shortcut itself

It is corrected now.

Ctrl+N opens the 'New Contact' dialogue now.
