Description Alexander Potashev 2014-04-14 22:36:53 UTC 
Something interesting happends when your keyboard layout switcher is configured for Alt+Shift, and you press Alt+Shift in the shortcut mini-editor in Krita Settings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the keyboard layout switcher in KDE System Settings to Alt+Shift.
2. Open Krita/settings/configure krita/canvas input.
3. Choose an existing or create a new mouse button-bound action and double click on its "input" cell.
4. In the popup click on the keys selector against "Modifiers" and press Alt+Shift.
Actual Results:  
The shortcut keys are now written as "Shift + Meta+Ctrl+Alt+Shift+[**]" in the popup and also in the "input" field for the shortcut.

Expected Results:  
One of the following:
 1. keys properly written as "Alt + Shift" or
 2. no change in keys and a warning for this modifier key already used for something global (layout switching in my case).

Hm... Didn't Sven Langkamp fix this quite recently? Or am I wool-gathering?

Boudewijn, I couldn't find any commit he made in the last two weeks in calligra/2.8 and master. And overall no major commits to krita/ui/input/ :(
Comment 4 Halla Rempt 2014-04-29 08:29:46 UTC 
I must be mistaken then!
Comment 5 Sven Langkamp 2014-04-30 04:04:41 UTC 
I didn't do anything there ;)

Ok...

Well, KDE has some problems with layout switching shortcuts in general :( I had to move my language switch shortcut to right Ctrl+Shift because of that.

But I guess we still can invent something here. At least do nothing on those shortcuts

I can confirm this happens in latest git master (git 9D252f0) too.
I think the problem here is once you assign Alt + Shift to keyboard layout change. and try to modify the shortcut in kirta, the moment you press Alt + shift kde changes your keyboard layout and the shift key is changed. For me it shows Alt + + , so it depends on your layout.

I think this is similar to alt window drag behaviour problem.

This is a kde-wide issue, either in kglobalaccel or in kxmlgui's shortcut editor.
