Version: (using Devel) To reproduce; Insert a sticky-note plasmoid. Type some text Make sure your focus is in the sticky-note and press 'ctrl-a' Which is select-all. What happens; the plasma-wide dialog to add a plasmoid shows up. What I expected to happen; the 'select all' action to be triggered. Important observations; * if you already have the 'Add widgets' dialog open and again place your caret in the sticky-note app then press ctrl-a all the items in the add widgets dialog will be selected. * If you right click on the Notes plasmoid you will see that there is indeed a select-all action and that its shortcut is indeed ctrl-a ;)
welcome to the insane world of focus on QGraphicsView. there are a number of issues that remain, hopefully more (all? =) of them will be sorted in Qt 4.5. i'm 95% sure this is due to these upstream issues, but don't have time to verify right now; i'll leave this one open until someone (e.g. me) confirms (or not). if someone can track it back to a Qt issue, we can close it here.
Can you "move" this report to widget-misc? I was going to file the same bug there. Or what's the best place for it?
this bug still exists in kde 4.1.1 with rpms from fedora 9, I think which the problem is the shorcut choosen to open the plasmoid dialog and not the focus in QgraphicView, because ctrl-a historically is a shortcut to select things (objects) in a window (text, icons, objects depending the apllication), plasma is a new way to program a graphic interface in kde, maybe is better to select new shorcuts for plasma actions instead of getting old ones because that confuse some users.
In the Containment::init() method in kdelibs/plasma/containment.cpp we register following shortcuts; * ctrl+a (conflicts with select all) * ctrl+n * ctrl+p (conflicts with paste) * ctrl+l * QKeySequence::ZoomIn * ctrl+= * QKeySequence::ZoomOut) * ctrl+shift+a
eh, my fault. ctrl+p doesn't conflicts with paste cause that's ctrl+v :-/ anyway, it's fixed now with r897447. Thanks for the feedback!
