Bug 433880

Which shortcuts? Like Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V? Have you redefined any shortcuts in System Settings > Shortcuts? Are you using any custom software that re-binds keys or handles key events? A screen recording might also be useful.

Yes, like Ctrl+C, +V, +X.

I have not defined any personal shortcuts. 

The strange thing, if I click on the right mouse button sometimes the shortcuts are shown additionally, but sometimes not. And if sometimes I even can see the shortcuts within the right mouse button menu but still the shortcuts do no work.
Today I have tried to take a screen video but due to no logic I skipped it.
I opened the properties of a folder in dolphin wanting to copy the path with a shortcut. I did not work. Than I copied with right mouse button copy function. I tried to insert with a short cut into a the dolphin address line. It did not work. Than I used the right mouse button function for inserting without shortcut. THis worked. Than again I tried to insert the path again with ctrl+v and it worked - absolutely not understandable what is going on there. There is not a clear reproduceable logic in this failure.

I'd like to see that video anyway, especially if it shows menus being shown without shortcuts in them. That's very odd.

I have taken the videos. Firstly using shortcuts. They did not work. Than using the menu function. This worked.
I have also this problem of not shown or not working of shortcuts in other applications in KDE, e.g. as firefo.

OK, so the screen recording shows missing shortcuts for the URL navigator, which actually lives elsewhere, not in Dolphin.

Questions:

1. Are you missing the same shortcuts in the URL navigator in Gwenview or the file open/save dialogs?
2. Are you missing shortcuts in any other menus in Dolphin, or any other menus in any other KDE app? Let's forget about Firefox for now.

Yes, I have attached a video with shortcut-failure-in-konqueror.

Thanks. So the URL navigator has the same problem in Konqueror. How about other context menus in other parts of the UI in Konqueror and other KDE apps? Do any of them have the same problem?

shortcuts work in clementine

Shortcuts work /exist in clementine, if I edit a the name of song file. But in gwenview there is no copy, paste or cut function in the right mouse button menu at all. Thus no shortcuts.

Can you go to System Settings > Shortcuts > scroll down to "Common actions" > Edit, and then see if the default shortcuts for Cut, Copy, and Paste have gotten removed or overridden?

The shortcuts are set. May be a problem is that the are 2 shortcuts for one function defined?

Nah, that should be fine.

Well, I'm out of ideas. :( Thanks for all the information you've provided.

I would guess somehow the actions are not assigned the shortcuts. I do not know how this is done programmatically in Dolphin. I assume Kstandardaction?

Of course it could some weird bug where the action loses its shortcut sometimes?

In the system settings for shortcuts there two shortcuts for one function assigned originally by default. I have deleted one of each. Now there is only left one shortcut for each function:
copy --> strg+c
paste --> strg+v
cut --> strg+x

Even the shortcuts are not always completely shown in the right button menu, yet, but now they seem to work!!

I will keep you updated, if I it still works in the long term run.

Yes, I imagine. FWIW for the reporter, it affects KURLNavigators in multiple KDE apps, not just Dolphin.

After having taken out the double shortcuts which were set by default now it seems to work properly still after some time of testing. One shortcut per function is enough of course.
Thanks for all your kind support.
