I've noticed similar behaviour after using almost any shortcut involving Shift
. In my particular case, I often use Ctrl + Shift + Left Arrow
or Ctrl + Shift + Right Arrow
to select several words but due to the synonym dictionary, it seems that the Shift
key causes it to replace with a synonym instead.
@rayzhv Do you get the same synonym-changing behaviour by just pressing Shift
after initially triggering this with Ctrl + Shift + .
?
A cursory glance at the code suggests that this may be the reason: https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Left/blob/f944beea8791c0dcb551f7c61a66b9a1ccefbbe6/desktop/sources/scripts/events.js#L46-L51
My understanding of the keyboard shortcut is for the combination of Shift + Tab
to initiate a sort of 'synonym mode', then releasing the Shift
would enter the synonym, but it appears that releasing the Shift
does this anyway; there doesn't appear to be any check for when to apply a synonym or not, other than whether a synonym is available / selected when the Shift
key is released.
@neauoire do you have any flags for when the user is in 'synonym mode' or anything like that, or would you object to something like that being implemented?
I've realized that can be a keyboard layout problem. In most non US Keyboard to do a '[' you have to use shift+alt. In a US keyboard you have to press only the '[' key.
This means that, if you don't have an american keyboard, you can't use most of the shortcuts. ðŸ˜

When I put the cursor at the end of a word that has synonyms and try to change fonts using the
Ctrl + Shift + .
shortcut, the font changes successfully but the word gets replaced with the next synonym. This seems to be an unintentional side effect of changing fonts.
