Description Chris K 2024-08-20 12:50:45 UTC 
SUMMARY
I always have my Kate menu bar hidden because I usually don't need it. Only rarely I want to quickly access the recently opened files. To avoid always having to make the menu bar visible and navigate to this item, I have now set a shortcut for this action. It does show up next to the menu item label but pressing the combination has no effect for me, even if I already have the file menu open, so in no "state" of Kate.  
This is frustrating. I want to kindly ask to either remove the possibility to set a shortcut for this action if it cannot be implemented easily, or please actually implement it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure a keyboard shortcut for "Open Recent" (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+P).
2. Press the shortcut keys.

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
The list of recently opened files is shown, similar to when navigating to this point in the File menu.
