While routing a track, pressing '/' to switch track posture actually brings up the hotkey menu, as if shift-'/' is being pressed instead.

I can not find that commit in master.

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

It looks like Tom is using the OCC patch on top of master.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

It happens in both the legacy and modern canvases.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

I fixed this in the legacy canvas but not the gal canvas. There is something strange going on with the way the new tool framework handles key events so I'm going to defer this to v6 as part of the fix for all key events that have this issue.

I remember some work being done on this, and it doesn't reproduce for me; did it get fixed?

The combination Shift+/ (or any symbol for that matter) is not valid anymore (and can't be entered into the hotkye setter). The hotkey will default to the uppercase symbol (whatever is on the upper key portion).

I think that fixed what was originally reported here, but the shift processing is still broken (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1838420). I think we could probably either close this ticket or mark it as a duplicate of the other shift processing one.
