SUMMARY Currently one has go into the menu to change the page rotation.
Any proposals on what these shortcuts could be? Thanks in advance for your answer.
> Any proposals on what these shortcuts could be? I thought about Alt+L/R and Alt+Shift+L/R for a single page (#413746). Those are not used currently and seem intuitive to me.
I see Alt+ is used for the shortcuts of the menu entries. Maybe AltGr then?
Alt+Shift+Left/Right is for "Previous/Next page" now. Alt++Left/Right can be assigned via the shortcuts dialog. So this bug is a JJ to prescribe the default shortcuts.
Created attachment 123663 [details] Shortcuts for AltGr+L/R Yes, you are right, it's basically a question assign default shortcuts for those actions. If set to AltGr+L the shortcut representation becomes ł and and for AltGr+R it becomes ¶. This is really hard for a user to figure out, what needs to be pressed. Is it possible to instead display AltGr+L and AltGr+R? Or is it complicated due to different keyboard layouts?

Sorry, Falkon does not load the gitlab MR.

Or is it complicated due to different keyboard layouts? This will probably not be possible. There are keyboard layouts without AltGr. Qt does not know this key as modifier. And besides that, AltGr is a very uncommon modifier. At least, Qt (since Qt5) does not care on which keyboard layer a shortcut key is pressed. For Neo2, 1 is the same as Mod4+M. https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#KeyboardModifier-enum
The obvious solution is to use the standard shortcuts defined in kstandardshortcuts. However the bigger problem is that this feature doesn't generally do what people expect: it rotates every page rather than the current page, which is not super useful. I think before we do this, we need to fix/implement Bug 413746.
Why would it just rotate the current page? That makes no sense, are you telling me that people have documents where each of the pages is independently wrongly rotated? I've never came across such a document myself.
BTW i don't think the rotation actions are used so often that need default shortcuts, people that use them can add one themselves.

I don't think those are duplicates no, one is about single page rotation and the other about shortcuts for the rotation action.
