Description Jean-Francois Roy 2023-12-14 16:39:28 UTC

SUMMARY

The "Enable menu accelerators" option in the General settings does not seem to work. It is disabled, and yet when I do Alt-F, the Konsole find panel activates instead of sending Alt-F to my shell.

You can also observe that just pressing Alt causes the underline to show up under the accelerator key/letter in the toolbar.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Disable (uncheck) "Enable menu accelerators" in General settings.
2. Press Alt-F in terminal (e.g. to advance the cursor in a shell).

OBSERVED RESULT

Konsole find panel appears.

EXPECTED RESULT

Alt-F sent to the shell.

Still present in konsole 24.05.2 / plasma 6.1.5, renders konsole unusable for several high-profile CLI/TUI applications (emacs, mc, etc.)

Hello,

To be a bit more precise, this bug only concerns tool bar items. The menu bar accelerators are correctly disabled when the "Enable menu accelerators" option is unchecked.

From what I understood, this takes place in the `MainWindow::removeMenuAccelerator` method in `src/MainWindow.cpp`.
The method only modifies the accelerators for the menu bar: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/blob/e7cdecfb197761a885a50fa725578e939c3c740f/src/MainWindow.cpp#L192.

I tired to retrieve the actions of the tool bar to try to implement a fix but unfortunately I am very new to developping KDE apps so I don't know how to retrieve and modify them.
