PCBnew: Re-assigning shortcuts for switching canvas mode does not work

[kaspar]

Changing the shortcuts for switching the canvas mode to legacy, Cairo or Opengl doesn't work. The new shortcuts do appear in the menus but nothing happens when you press the keys.

EDIT: Actually, re-assigning to one of the F1-F12 keys does seem to work but not to single letter keys.

It works for me.

Please, gives a not working example.

is it possible that you double assigned a key? as in pcbnew most if not all of the regular keys are already assigned

[kaspar (kaspar-emanuel)]

No, if you double assign keys PCBnew warns you and get's rid of the old assignment. I have been testing some more and it seems to be specifically assigning "Switch to Legacy Canvas" to any single-letter short cuts. I tried A and Q. Assigning "Switch to OpenGL Canvas" does seem to work actually.

Can't reproduce here on OSX. Please paste your version info from Help->Copy Version Info or Help->About->Copy Version info

Does not happen on Windows, but happens on Linux 5kubuntu 14.04

[kaspar (kaspar-emanuel)]

I just noticed the Ctrl-Z shortcut is also not working in OpenGL or Cairo modes. Using the menu to undo does work.

[xzcvczx (xzcvczx)]

i wonder whether kde is interferring with the hotkeys or something.....

[kaspar (kaspar-emanuel)]

I am not running KDE.

woops my bad, saw jp's reponse and got distracted. I wonder if its an issue with some component in 14.04

[Chris Pavlina (pavlina-chris)]

To be specific, I changed the shortcut for switch-to-legacy to 'j'. It ignores the shortcut.

[Chris Pavlina (pavlina-chris)]

Interesting, it depends on focus. If I click on the layer widget first, it works. When the GAL canvas is in focus, it doesn't.

Seems to be fixed in master Please reset if you see it again.
