Add shortcut to "leave sheet"

[Leandro Heck]

Please add a default shortcut to go to the main sheet. Or using the kicad name to "leave sheet".

Also, a shortcut to go to the next/previous sheets would be good. Something with Page Down/Up. would be nice.

[Leandro Heck (leoheck)]

Using Kicad nightly and 5. :)

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

The default shortcut to leave the current sheet is Alt+Backspace.

[Leandro Heck (leoheck)]

Is it possible to add it near the Leave Sheet entry in View menu?

And in the context menu with the mouse right click (a lot of existent shortcuts is missing there).

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

What are you asking to add here? There is already a "Leave Sheet" entry
in the "View" menu and in the context menu when you right click any
place in the schematic where there are no objects.

I was asking the feature to "Leave the sheet" with a keyboard shortcut. But you told me that this is an existing thing. I couldn't know just looking at the menus.

-> So, what is missing is the shortcuts indication on menu entries to indicate that the shortcut exists.

That was also the thing Hildo was pointing in his last comment.

If you go to the "Eeschema > View", you will see the "Leave sheet" item but there are no shortcuts indicated there.

For example "Eeschema > View > Zoom in" has this "Alt+F1" shortcut written there.

Also, just to improve here, I have another bug report that shows that some shortcuts indicated in the menus that are wrong, at least on Ubuntu. For example, all of the shortcuts in Place menu have the "Shift+" in front of it. This is wrong for most of the actions there.

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

You said in comment #1 that it does not work on nightly.

[Leandro Heck (leoheck)]

Yes, you are right. But I just tested both versions 3h ago and it is fixed in Nightly. Since I added the issue a week ago it may be fixed by someone or I could be my mistake when I reported it. So, right not, only v5 has the issue.

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

This is why it is important to be exact when reporting version info when reporting bugs from the beginning..

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

I targeted the 5.1.0 milestone as it is not a bug critical for 5.0 and it might appear in 5.1 depending on the exact branch strategy used.

[Leandro Heck (leoheck)]

Sure, that is ok. There are any ppa with version 5.1?

I thought JP fixed this. I just tested this on linux and I still don't see Alt+Bkspc as the shortcut in either the menu or the context menu. Am I missing something?

[jean-pierre charras (jp-charras)]

Yes I fixed it.
Both on Ubuntu/KDE and Ubuntu/Unity I have Alt+Bksp displayed (with Bksp translated into "retour arrière" ...)

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

On OSX I see the shortcut in both menus.

@Wayne, are you still not seeing them on Linux?

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

@Jeff, I'm seeing the shortcut in both menus in heads of both the
development and 5.0 branches so it appears to be fixed.
