Description Christian González 2014-03-17 22:10:10 UTC 
The "A&lle ersetzen" button and "&Lesezeichen menu" use the same short key.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
* open kate in German (!) and any file with it, goto Bearbeiten->Ersetzen...
* The "Replace &All" = "A&lle ersetzen" button has the Alt-L key as shoutcut key. Press Alt-L - now the "&Lesezeichen"  menu opens, which uses the same key.

Same happens for "&Ersetzen" and "&Einstellungen"

The reason is quite obvious:
All characters in "Ersetzen" and "Alle ersetzen" are already used as clashes in menu items and in items of the Search & Replace bar.

So I have no clue how to fix this :-(

Gedit solves this by using NO shortcut. Which is kind of... bah. But anyway, it is  better than a double key. LibreOffice has a modal dialog for search&replace, so global hotkeys don't work there. This is no option neither fpr Kate IMHO, as modal dialogs are mean(TM).
Making another hotkey (with a tooltip hint) is inconsistent.
I would suggest deleting the hotkey - as it is useless.

Maybe this is a consequence of KDE SC having too many options and menus ;-)

FYI, CJK languages use extra latin letters to add accelerators, like this:
msgid "Co&ntinue"
msgstr "계속(&N)"

Nowadays that works an we get the auto accel ATL-z for german.
