Created attachment 152370 [details] Screenshot of the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts window showing how Ctrl+/ is the default shortcut for two distinct actions. SUMMARY Ctrl+/ is the default shortcut for two distinct actions in KDevelop, which results in users not being able to perform either action from shortcuts. These actions are "Toggle Comment" and "Switch Header/Source". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Do a clean install of KDevelop 2. Open any project or document 3. Click on the code editor to focus it 4. Press Ctrl+/ shortcut OBSERVED RESULT A message box appears indicating "Ctrl+/" is an ambiguous shortcut and requesting the user to go to "Settings > Configure Keyboard Shortcuts..." to resolve the issue. EXPECTED RESULT "Toggle Comment" should have Ctrl+/ as its default shortcut because this is the most widely adopted convention, used by C++ and Qt developers by default in software such as VSCode and Qt Creator. A different shortcut or no default shortcut should set for "Switch Header/Source". SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Fedora Linux 36, Linux kernel 5.19.10-xm1.0.fc36.x86_64 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Customizing either action to a different shortcut results in user being unable to replicate the issue because the program prevents duplicate shortcuts from being assigned. The attached screenshot shows Ctrl+/ is the default shortcut for two distinct actions but one of those actions has already been customized to something other than the default.
