This does not seem to be an issue with Kate but with how plasma handles shortcuts in general (see bug #434851). (In reply to Paul Worrall from comment #1) > This does not seem to be an issue with Kate but with how plasma handles > shortcuts in general (see bug #434851). Thanks, but I'm not sure what the next step should be. Should I reassign this to another product? Do you have any suggestion regarding which one, though? There are so many ... (Looking at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434851, it seems that not much is likely to change if left as is.) I'm not sure either, I'll assign it to kglobalaccel for now until someone who knows better reassigns it. |
SUMMARY I'm trying to customize the key shortcuts but I ran into an issue where a conflict is detected and supposedly solved when assigning the shortcut. When pressing the key combination, I get told to solve the ambiguity. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to Settings / Configure Keyboard Shortcuts. 2. Find "Move to Top of View" and assign "Ctrl+PgUp" 3. Get prompted with "The "Ctrl+PgUp" shortcut is ambiguous with the following shortcut. Do you want to assign an empty shortcut to this action? Shortcut 'Alt+Left' for action 'Previous Tab'" 4. Choose "Reassign". 5. Close the settings dialog and back in the edit window press "Ctrl+PgUp". OBSERVED RESULT A message pops up, stating: "The key sequence 'Ctrl+PgUp' is ambiguous. Use 'Configure Keyboard Shortcuts' from the 'Settings' menu to solve the ambiguity. No action will be triggered." EXPECTED RESULT The cursor should move to the top of the page. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: Probably latest, as I'm on opeSUSE Tumbleweed. Not sure how to find it, but I don't see it in "About System" KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Workaround: Open "Configure Keyboard Shortcuts", find "Previous Tab" and unassign the alternate or make some other change (once I saw a Ctrl+PgUp there, but mostly it's "Back"). Open /home/$USER/.local/share/kxmlgui5/kate/kateui.rc go to the end, find view_prev_tab, and remove Ctrl+PgUp from its entry. Before edit: <Action name="view_prev_tab" shortcut="Back; Ctrl+PgUp; Ctrl+["/> After edit it's <Action name="view_prev_tab" shortcut="Back"/>
