ctrl+s doesnt work for saving in eeschema

[Nils Peter Hesse]

The expected shortcut ctrl+s doesn't work in EEschema while it's working in PCBNew.
This can be very annoying because the usual way of quick-saving doesn't work. Using the pure 'S' for saving seems to work.

Also it would be nice to have a status bar entry if the file was saved.

I cannot duplicate this. The ctrl+S menu short cut was added to the testing branch in r2101. The current behavior is to save all of the schematic files not just the current one visible in the editor. One thing that is different than PCBNew is the enabling and disabling of the save project tool bar button when the schematic has been modified. Currently, you can save the schematic even when no changes have been made. You can verify this by saving your schematic and looking at the time stamp at top of the .sch files. I can change this bug to wishlist for the enable/disable behavior but ctrl+s does save the schematic.

Strange, ctrl+S definitly doesn't work here whilst only 'S' does.
Verified by saving in both ways with a delay of 10 minutes and looking
at the timestamp.

I'm on BZR2822 (testing), Ubuntu 10.04, wxWidgets 2.8.11 Unicode and
boost::polygon on 64 Bits GNU/Linux.

Anything else I could post to help?

PS: I just checked and new and open also doesn't work here with
"Ctrl+N" and "Ctrl+O". All three are listed in the file menu just with
the single character (which works as for saving). All other menu items
are shown with "Ctrl+[Key]"

Thanks for the extra information. I checked this on Windows with
wxWidgets 2.8.11 so the problem may be specific to Linux. I'll see if
the problem exists on my 64-bit Debian box.

I cannot reproduce the inital report with a recent build, but:
ctrl-shift-s does not work, even if it's in the hotkey list. Trying to set it to another combination like ctrl-shift-a, throws up an error message, saying "Hotkey code not handled". Guess the hotkeys are case insensitive?

Set the hotkey for save-as to crtl-a, hotkey was successfully set (it's displayed as the hotkey for save-as in the file menu), it does not work, only clicking on the entry does.

This problem appears to have returned. In bzr 5034 eeschema does not honour ctrl+s (or any other configured hotkey, it seems). File, Save Schematic Project works fine, as does the save button in the toolbar.

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

Try to reset your hotkey keybindings.

[Stefan Berndtsson (stefan-berndtsson)]

I have the same issue with saving in eeschema. I don't know how to reset the hotkey keybinding, but in the $HOME/.eeschema configuration file there are no hotkey entries that I can find.

I'm unsure when this problem returned, but it may have been when I changed from wxWidgets 2.8 to 3.0.

This may be related to this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1035151 which I just fixed. Please test r5106 and see if it solved the problem for you. It seemed to work for me. If it did resolve this problem, I'll mark this as a duplicate bug.

[Stefan Berndtsson (stefan-berndtsson)]

5106 has indeed fixed the issue.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

Thank you for the quick reply. I tag this as a duplicate.
