I use both the Programmer dvorak keyboard layout (default) and qwerty and switch between them at a global level. When trying to assign labels to a photo with the qwerty map, the Alt+(0-3) keyboard shortcuts are wrong. In fact the photos can be labelled using the dvorak keystrokes. example: pressing Alt+2 does nothing (This is Alt+[ in prog dvorak). Pressing Alt+Shift+8 adds the pending label (This is Alt+2 in prog dvorak) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login with prog dvorak keymap as default 2. find a photo in digikam that you want to label 3. switch the keymay to qwerty (to make entering numbers easier) 4. press Alt+2 to label the photo as pending Actual Results: nothing has changed Expected Results: photo is labelled as pending Photo can be labelled as pending by pressing Alt+Shift+8 This is the programmer Dvorak key action. I also use a Russian keymap at times. It looks like digikam is not getting the notification or acting when the keymap is changed. After setting the keymap to russian, the Dvorak shortcuts still work. Digikam freshly installed.
Still present in 3.3.0
I don't know why dvorak keyboard doen't work as espected with digiKam, but Labels keyboard shortcuts are set internally using standard KDELibs calls : https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/digikam/tags/tagsactionmngr.cpp#L190 https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/digikam/tags/tagsactionmngr.cpp#L210 https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/digikam/tags/tagsactionmngr.cpp#L230 ... no more. Perhaps KDELibs do not support well dvorak keyboard... Gilles Caulier
