Shortcuts key name wrong on Ubuntu

[Leandro Heck]

In Symbol Library Editor, there are no symbols to Save and Save As.

In Eeschema, the Place menu is showing all shortcuts with "Shift+" but the regular shortcuts does not use the Shift key as a composition.

I am using Kicad 6.0.0-rc1-unknown-da35b16~65~ubuntu18.04.1

I realize just the same on Ubuntu 16.04 about the Zoom IN / OUT on Pcbnew, use "Alt + F1" / "Alt + F2", but is just "F1" and "F2" that achieve this function.

[Hildo Guillardi Júnior (hildogjr)]

Could someone confirm this on other Linux distributions?

More about: on Pcbnew they are wrong on the top menu but right on the right click context menu (Check for "zoom in" for example).

[Leandro Heck (leoheck)]

On Eeschema (Ubuntu 18.04):

View:
Alt+F1, Does not work (it is a gnome shortcut to show all windows)
Alt+F2, Does not work (it is a gnome shortcut to enter a command)

Place:
Shift+A --> A
Shift+P --> P
Shift+W --> W
Shift+B --> B
Shift+Z --> Z
Shift+Q --> Q
Shift+J --> J
Shift+L --> L
Shift+ALT+H --> H
Shift+H --> ?
Shift+S --> ?
Shift+I --> I
Shift+T --> T

What exactly is the problem here?

"In Symbol Library Editor, there are no symbols to Save and Save As."
Fixed in commit 822ebf69556214ab2a7cb2404922f95caef65c0e.

"In Eeschema, the Place menu is showing all shortcuts with "Shift+" but the regular shortcuts does not use the Shift key as a composition."
This is by design - hotkey vs. menu accelerator confusion.

"I realize just the same on Ubuntu 16.04 about the Zoom IN / OUT on Pcbnew, use "Alt + F1" / "Alt + F2", but is just "F1" and "F2" that achieve this function." [#2] and "More about: on Pcbnew they are wrong on the top menu but right on the right click context menu (Check for "zoom in" for example)." [#4]
Zoom behaviour from the menubar/toolbar are different to the right click context menu. The former zooms around the screen centre while the latter zooms around the cursor position, hence the accelerator modifier is added to the menubar.

If the default hotkey assignments don't play nice on Ubuntu, can't you just change them to suit you?
