Description Larsen 2021-03-14 18:46:26 UTC
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- Set shortcuts
  - Select Transition: Shift++ (default value afaik)
  - Add Marker/Guide quickly: * (from NumPad)
- Have a clip playing in Clip Monitor

- Press NumPad *
--> No problem, marker is set

- Press Shift++ to add a marker (gives * on a German keyboard layout)
--> "The key sequence '*' is ambigous"

- Click into Clip Monitor
- Press Shift++ again
--> "The key sequence 'Shift++' is ambigous"


Kdenlive should distinguish between * and NumPad* when setting shortcuts.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I noticed this while working on my laptop (without a NumPad). Normally working on a normal keybord, and using * on the NumPad is no problem.

Tested with Kate (as a side-effect of bug 433698) and there it seems to be handled correctly, see screenshot.
