EditTag

In Edit Tag -> Shortcut, when Input... appears and I press any key combination, a conflict warning dialog always appears regardless of whether the key combination currently exists or not.

In addition, for an existing assigned key combination, it is not displayed in the dialog.

See the attached picture.

Hi Gilles,

Thank you but the problem is still present.
Comment 3 hardy.public 2019-03-09 10:32:12 UTC
This may be a stupid question but when it says Meta+Ctrl+F2 what is the Meta key?
Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2019-03-09 13:44:44 UTC
Meta is the key with the "Windows" logo on latin1 keyboards.

We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version.

Best Regards

The problem is still there but slightly different behaviour from what I recall.

If the shortcut already exists, it correctly warns about the conflict with details about the conflict.

If the shortcut does not exist, the stock warning appears as previously reported.
Comment 7 Sergejs 2021-01-06 23:21:26 UTC
I can confirm that this issue is still there in 7.2beta2 64bit on Windows 10.

Note that if you ignore and override the "conflict" everything works, but it looks very scary. I initially spent long time trying if at least something is not causing any conflicts.
Comment 8 Michael 2021-07-12 08:43:47 UTC
I am currently working with version 7.2 and the bug still exists here.

In this context I also noticed that tags cannot be assigned with single keys, but only with key combinations like Ctrl+..., Alt+ ..., Ctrl + Shift + ..., etc. Possibly a bug of its own?
Comment 9 caulier.gilles 2021-07-12 09:12:21 UTC
Please check with next 7.3.0 release :

S4 - Same behaviour on Tag Key Assignment
Comment 14 Michael 2021-07-12 09:50:38 UTC
I am sorry. But even with 7.3 nothing has changed in the behavior. See the screenshots S1 to S4. As in 7.2 the message appears, but when clicking on "Reassign" the assignment remains and the shortcut is set. The same behavior with the tags. However, only shortcuts with control keys can still be used here.
Comment 15 Maik Qualmann 2021-07-12 11:09:23 UTC
This keyboard shortcut editor comes from the KF5 framework. I don't see any Windows specific code there. I think the editor simply has no overview of the global keyboard shortcuts defined in Windows. There will be no solution here in the short term. It would be to test whether it works in Krita.

Comment 16 Michael 2021-07-12 11:16:56 UTC
Krita 4.4.5 on Windows 10 64bit works correctly. Conflicts with shortcuts are detected correctly and reported only when they occur. I have also tested the negative cases. Krita works absolutely flawlessly.

I hope that the information helps.

Comment 17 Dave Schwinn 2021-09-03 12:13:00 UTC
This feature is EXACTLY what I need from digiKam so it is disappointing that this bug has persisted for over four years.  I can confirm what Micheal reports, it works in Krita.
Comment 18 Staffan 2022-05-01 14:43:07 UTC
I have the same, or at least a similar, problem using digiKam 7.6. It was also present in 7.4 and 7.5 but I didn't report it then, assuming that it would be fixed in the next version.

I had assigned the F1 key to 'Pick label "Rejected"' which was reported to be in conflict with 'digiKam Handbook'. When removing the assignment, digiKam starts up without displaying the error messages. However, the F1 key does not seem to do anything. Under 'Help', I see that the 'Online Handbook' (is that the same as the 'digiKam Handbook'?) is assigned to F10 and this key (F10) does indeed bring up 'Revision 7.0' of the handbook. But the disputed F1 key does nothing (that I can see) and I haven't been able to determine that it is actually assigned to the handbook, i.e. I haven't found the place where that assignment is done.

I have a screendump named digiKam_bug_376859.png which I'll try to attach.

The bug is still present in digiKam 7.6

I had assigned the F1 key to 'Pick label "Rejected"' which was reported to be in conflict with 'digiKam Handbook'. When removing the assignment, digiKam starts up without displaying the error messages. However, the F1 key does not seem to do anything as far as I can see. Under 'Help', I see that the 'Online Handbook' (is that the same as the 'digiKam Handbook'?) is assigned to F10 and this key (F10) does indeed bring up 'Revision 7.0' of the handbook. But the disputed F1 key does nothing...

I might add that I'm using the digiKam-7.6.0-x86-64.appimage on Linux; currently Linux Mint 20.3 (previous versions 7.5 and 7.4 on Linux Mint 20.2).
Comment 21 Maik Qualmann 2022-05-01 16:17:42 UTC
Neither F1 nor F10 is assigned to the manual in the digiKam default settings. This is probably an automatic assignment in your desktop operating system.

That does indeed seem to be the case. Thanks!
Comment 23 caulier.gilles 2023-04-21 14:49:52 UTC
I cannot reproduce the problem here under Windows with F1 and F10 keyword shortcuts.

As explained in the digiKam documentation none of both keys are assigned in digiKam. This must be a problem in your OS settings, as Maik explained in comment #21.

I close this file now
