Description Trevor Parsons 2020-05-11 00:52:07 UTC 
SUMMARY
In the month view of Korganizer, if you press a key that is not a function or
modifier key, not part of a key combination, and not a key that is bound to a keyboard shortcut, the add event dialog is spawned, unwantedly.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch to month view.

2. Press any single unbound non-function / non-modifier key / non-shortcut key.

OBSERVED RESULT
An add event dialog is spawned with the corresponding character already entered into the Title field.

EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing, unless the key is set as a keyboard shortcut.

The current behaviour prevents the binding of single letter keys to switch quickly between day, week and month view (comparable to the very handy shortcut keys in Google Calendar web interface).

Indeed, all that happens if you set a single key, such as 'd' for day, is that that prevents the pressing of 'd' from spawning the add event dialog.

verified in KOrganizer 6.3
for example, try the '/' or '*' keys on the numeric keypad

oh, I read this wrong.
this "type-ahead" is a feature that I'd like to keep.

nor do I think it warrants a special configuration option.
