Description RJVB 2016-05-01 12:53:26 UTC

The Project Manager View plugin hardcodes a number of shortcuts, among others for item removal, renaming, copy and paste. The remove, copy and paste shortcuts are standard and probably unlikely to be redefined, but the rename action is made available via the F2 key. I use that shortcut in KWin (for lowering the focus window), and it turns out that the keystroke is not eaten by KWin but passed on to the next window that receives focus, or when KDevelop itself is being lowered this way.

I've tried to make a start towards replacing these fixed shortcuts with user-modifiable ones. The QAction shortcuts work as expected, but I haven't yet been able to figure out how to make them appear in the shortcut settings dialog. Draft patch attached.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Map F2 to "lower window"
2. Select a Focus-Really-Follows-Mouse focussing model
3. Open a project in KDevelop5
4. Select an item in the project manager
5. Put a window in front of KDevelop and lower it via F2 or lower KDevelop itself via F2

Actual Results:  
A Rename dialog pops up; one cannot change or undefine the shortcut

Expected Results:  
It should be possible to change or remove the shortcut
