SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Ctrl R 2. Enter something to search and something to replace 3. Press Alt + A OBSERVED RESULT The behaviour for Alt + Up (Previous Document) occurs EXPECTED RESULT Replace All SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: KDE Frameworks 5.75.0 Qt Version: Qt 5.14.2 (built against 5.14.2) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION LXQT On Fedora release 32 (Thirty Two)
I followed your steps and I was unable to reproduce it. It worked as expected and did a replace all. However, I am running on Plasma and not LXQT. Is LXQT stealing the shortcut?

Ken if you can, please supply the information requested in Comment 1. I have set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thank you.
Apologies for the delay. I installed two other distros to check the issue I confirmed that the problem is NOT in version 19.12.1 on Fedora release 31 (Thirty One), and also NOT in version 17.12.3 on GalliumOS 3.1 (ubuntu 18.04) It is also NOT a problem on a clean install of Fedora release 32 (Thirty Two)20.08.3 The issue is still present in Version 20.08.3 Fedora release 32 (Thirty Two) I did notice that when I pressed ALT it placed an Underscore under the "A" in "Replace All". I confirmed that LXQT does not have Alt + A assigned. I did notice that when I pressed ALT it placed an Underscore under the "c" in "Replace All".
I'm afraid that this is working as designed. The automatically generated Alt-... shortcuts depend on a lot of things like the translations and probably even in which order your plugins are loaded. This is hard to fix. A workaround could be to expose the button-actions as actions that you can assign shortcuts to manually. Please reopen as a wish if you want the replace all button to get a configurable shortcut.
