Created attachment 112507 [details] Alt+D should not be taken Falkon is assigning shortcuts based on the name of the tab. Alt+D is the shortcut to go to the address bar, which in my case is also the search bar. I have attached a recording showing how Alt+D doesn't work when a tab for "Dropbox" is loaded. Alt+D should have priority!
It shouldn't work like that, it even tries to strip the accelerators (& character) from title to prevent interpreting it as such and resulting in this behavior. However, it seems like something else is doing this, maybe breeze style or platform theme. Can you try with "falkon -style fusion" ?
Created attachment 112509 [details] Falkon Fusion I have attached a screen cast with -style fusion. The first time it worked, then it didn't. I have tested it before the screen cast and it was behaving as with breeze. You cannot see in the video that actually the first Alt+D nothing happens, and the second one switches to the tab. This is common for both Fusion and Breeze.
Alt+D does focus the address bar (Plasma 5.5.5, Falkon 3.0.99 (master)) There is probably something else doing this.
Just tested with Falkon 3.0.1 on KDE Neon. But still there. I wish I could disable the ability to switch tabs with Alt+<first symbol from the page name>. For example, I have now three tabs opened, this tab is the second and it starts with "3", I cannot switch to the third tab with Alt+3 because this tab is the second and it starts with... 3.
> I wish I could disable the ability to switch tabs with Alt+<first symbol from the page name>. Well, it's not feature in Falkon itself. Something else is doing this, but I have no idea what, sorry. Does it also happen with tabs in other Qt apps?
Krusader also adds keyboard shortcuts to its tabs. I tried changing the system themes, the "feature" is still there. So it seems is a Qt 5.10 "feature".
It seems there is a bug report for Qt: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-46291
Created attachment 112579 [details] setTabText debug It's not Qt doing this. Can you please apply this patch and post terminal output?
setTabText "Empty Page" setTabText "Empty Page" setTabText "dropbox.com" setTabText "dropbox.com" setTabText "www.dropbox.com" setTabText "https://www.dropbox.com" setTabText "Dropbox" setTabText "Dropbox" setTabText "Dropbox" No & in the text.
Try adding [Development] AutoCheckAccelerators=false to ~/.config/kdeglobals as suggested in bug 337491
> Try adding > > [Development] > AutoCheckAccelerators=false > > to ~/.config/kdeglobals as suggested in bug 337491 This fixes it! Thank you! Why would you have this set as default?!
> Why would you have this set as default?! No idea, but I agree that this should not be enabled by default. In any case, it's not Falkon, but KDE platform plugin doing this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 337491 ***
