Comment 1 David Greengas 2020-11-28 02:12:58 UTC

I followed your steps and I was unable to reproduce it. It worked as expected and did a replace all. However, I am running on Plasma and not LXQT. Is LXQT stealing the shortcut?

Ken if you can, please supply the information requested in Comment 1.

I have set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thank you.

Comment 3 Ken Fallon 2020-12-02 10:11:26 UTC

Apologies for the delay. I installed two other distros to check the issue

I confirmed that the problem is NOT in version 19.12.1 on Fedora release 31 (Thirty One), and also NOT in version 17.12.3 on GalliumOS 3.1 (ubuntu 18.04)

It is also NOT a problem on a clean install of Fedora release 32 (Thirty Two)20.08.3 

The issue is still present in Version 20.08.3 Fedora release 32 (Thirty Two)
I did notice that when I pressed ALT it placed an Underscore under the "A" in "Replace All".

I confirmed that LXQT does not have Alt + A assigned.

I did notice that when I pressed ALT it placed an Underscore under the "c" in "Replace All".

I'm afraid that this is working as designed.

The automatically generated Alt-... shortcuts depend on a lot of things like the translations and probably even in which order your plugins are loaded. This is hard to fix.

A workaround could be to expose the button-actions as actions that you can assign shortcuts to manually.

Please reopen as a wish if you want the replace all button to get a configurable shortcut.
