OS:                Linux

I assign "Alt+F" to "fit page" or "Alt+S" for "single page".  No complaints.  But pressing these keys just pops up the File or Settings menus rather than doing what I asked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Assignment through "Settings / Configure shortcuts...".  Click on "Shortcut" for something, reassign to "Alt+F" etc.

Actual Results:  
Accepts assignment, but subsequently ignores.

Expected Results:  
Do what I tell you, you stupid computer!

Reassigning to kdelibs, there is nothing okular specific there
Comment 2 chrisy 2017-12-21 12:11:35 UTC 
Still the same behaviour with Kubuntu 17.04 and okular 1.0.3
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2018-01-10 14:28:47 UTC 
Alt+X are menu shortcuts, if those take precedence, it is a limitation of the Qt library. Simply holding down the Alt key already underlines the letters in the menubar.
