Created attachment 129318 [details] Screenshot of search bar opened instead of character written 1. I use the "French, Alternative" keyboard fr-oss both on Linux and Windows 10, which includes some special characters and arrows. 2. Accented capital letters work well on Kate, but if I try to write "œ" (the Alt 0156) with "AltGr + o" on Windows 10, instead of typing the character, it opens above the text a rapid search bar (see screenshot). I use the last Kate version available on Microsoft store. 3. On Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) and Kate 19.12.3, no such problem : "AltGr + o" well writes "œ" Perhaps a shortcut on Windows overlays the character command ? Thanks for your help !
I can reproduce... It seems that on Windows AltGr+O is interpreted as Ctrl+Alt+O I changed the shortcut for Quick-Open away from Ctrl+Alt+O and the dialog stops to open for AltGr+O, but I cannot get the "œ" character with the shortcut. I tried to use the same shortcut in notepad and visualstudio 2019, but it did not produce it... I'm running in VirtualBox and nordic layout so that could be one issue...
Hi, thanks for the answer and change suggestion ! But to get the shortcut working and write "œ" (as for accented capital letters), you need to install and choose clavier_fr-oss.zip "Français (France) - Français - Clavier enrichi" for Windows - like French variant available on Linux, but default MS keyboard doesn't have those characters : http://mjulier.free.fr/clavier/
Hi, I am not sure one can fix that in Kate, you can change the default shortcut for quick open in the settings. I am using atm the EurKey layout, that has similar issues, ALTGR-O should type ö. Sorry that we can't fix that in the tool, but I think we can not just not use any CTRL-ALT shortcuts only because Windows misbehaves here.
