Invalid shortcut key #1739

Closed xylewis closed 3 months ago

xylewis commented 3 months ago

When I hit the reset shortcut button Restart the software, all the shortcut keys are invalid, even Ctrl Z undo ctrl c ctrl v paste copy can not work properly Is it normal that when you click on the button marked in the picture all the shortcuts won't work even the most basic pasting and copying? Problem version: 0.28.4 Reuninstall and install 0.26.12, 0.28.4 still has the problem Installing that version of the software on another computer works fine image

Hi @xylewis,

no, that is not normal. At least that is not intended.

Looks like the "reset" function does a too hard reset and removes all bindkeys. It should better reset them to the defaults.

As a workaround you can delete the configuration file instead of using the "Reset" button. The configuration file is found in

Deleting this file will reset the configuration entirely.

If you do not want to loose all the other settings, you can delete this line to reset the key bindings:

 <key-bindings>...</key-bindings>

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Best regards,

Matthias
