*** Alt+[save, save as, copy, etc] have been disabled/removed/forgotten. *** SUMMARY menu Must have 'Alt' key operators! you've removed them. Why? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. start app (press print [screen] key) 2. take screenshot (alt keys missing here too) 3. have to pick up mouse to click 'save as' : ( OBSERVED RESULT No 'Alt+' operations EXPECTED RESULT press Alt+S and have file dialog open allowing me to 'save as'. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux: OpenSuSE Leap 15.6 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't think they were removed on purpose. They should work globally in all applications, except for specific apps like Konsole that allow you to disable them. Do they still work in other KDE applications? Do you know if they stopped working after updating a certain package?
Typically Ctrl+S is the shortcut for saving, not Alt+S. If Alt+S works, it's because there's visible text somewhere that has a mnemonic accelerator under it. Ctrl+S will always work though, so you can use that, FWIW. Can you clarify how you're using the app? After step 1, what do you see, specifically? There are several options here depending on how you have the app configured. And then after step 2, can you also be specific about what exactly you see?

I think they are referring to mnemonic shortcuts. The kind that activate when you hold Alt and press a letter based on which UI elements get a letter in their label underlined.
Right. I'm trying to determine where exactly they're being expected but not found.
