Some ignoring of system-level hotkeys Ctrl-Alt-Fx in Linux #5494

Open SN-CH opened 2 months ago

SN-CH commented 2 months ago

I use hotkeys like Ctrl-Alt-F12 to do some processing of selected piece of text in any program in Linux. They are defined system-wide in Autokey and work very reliable everywhere except Cudatext. The latter ignores them completely. It seems there is no any specific command/function/action/whatever in Cudatext which this hotkey or any other Ctrl-Alt-Fx would be assigned to (I checked all the hotkeys).

On the other hand, other hotkeys defined in Autokey, for example Ctrl-Shift-=, work normally in Cudatext. Does Cudatext somehow distaste Ctrl-Alt-...?

No, Cud does not ignore them. maybe it is the Lazarus issue. you may check the same in Double Commander internal editor (F4), it is lazarus app too.

I use DC as well. Yes, I tried them in internal editor. They work weirdly, the first pressing do nothing, but the second one always works as expected. I tested a few Ctrl-Alt-Fx hotkeys, they all work like that. Very bizarre behaviour.

this is the Lazarus issue. gtk2 or qt5 related. please report it to the Lazarus forum and/or bugtracker https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues .

I trust, it would be helpful if I give them the version of Lazarus used in your software. Not sure where to find it.

Alexey-T commented 2 months ago

I use Lazarus 'trunk' (git latest) from 13.03.2024. In the report - specify gtk2 or qt5 widgetset, which do you use.

SN-CH commented 2 months ago

Done. https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/40925.

Pls answer there:

I replied to that thread. I am afraid this stuff is bit too technical for me. I can test your the temporary version you provided there, but I have to ask you to compile executable.
