Description niko+kde_org 2018-11-30 01:43:23 UTC

I want a bookmark to read "D&D". However, the & is used to assign a mnemonic key (accelerator?) to a bookmark. I tried "D_&D" and "D\&D". I suggest latter as a method to escape special characters.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create new Bookmark
2. Use an ampersand in the name

OBSERVED RESULT
3. The ampersand does not appear in the name, as intended

EXPECTED RESULT
2. Use an escaped ampersand in the name
3. The ampersand does appear in the name and is not active as a mnemonic key

Does D&&D work?

"B&&ookmark" results in "B&ookmark" but only B works as a mnemonik, neither o nor &.

Then try B&&&ook :)

&& is an escaped &, the third & marks the accelerator for 'o'.

Now I got it, thank you very much.

There's still an issue that the Name in the "Configure Toolbars" menu does not match the name that will be displayed.

Bookmark Editor: D&&D
Configure Toolbar: DD
Toolbar: D&D

But that's trivial once you tried it.
