Demonstration of control characters in window search
|
Created attachment 145576 [details] Demonstration of control characters in window search SUMMARY Typing things like ^A, ^S, etc. in the Present Windows effect makes control characters. They show up as "no font glyph" tofu boxes, except for whitespace control characters which insert whitespace just like in the terminal. ^J even makes a newline! STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the Present Windows effect. 2. Type control-letters. OBSERVED RESULT It actually enters control characters. EXPECTED RESULT It either invokes shortcuts bound to whatever key you pressed (if there are any, which normally there probably aren't) or does nothing. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This doesn't happen with the Overview effect, since that uses a regular search bar instead of the just-start-typing thing.
