I have defined "Ctrl-G" as shortcut to go back here (TB115.7, Nostalgy 4.1.4 on Ubuntu) and that works for me. Michael
here (Win 11, German): G works, alt-G not, but the new ctrl-alt-G
I wonder if this is similar to #253 and the release comment on 4.1.3,
this in addition uses webextention commands. So S is also usable as alt-S
Perhaps the handling of Alt+...
hotkeys is more generally getting conflated with the non-Alt+...
versions of the keys? @Olifair does Alt+G
work for you in 4.1.1, the way Alt+I
works for me in v4.1.1 but not above?
@blerner no, that was the whole problem in the first place, ALT-G is not working. I'm using "Q" now and that is working well :-) I have tested this on 4.1.4, but I think i had had the problem for a while, so I guess probably also with 4.1.1
I would like to add that any of ALT+... isn't working But with AltGr+... it works. nostalgy++ v4.1.4 thunderbird v115.9.0
I think TB uses a new way to grab the keypressed which I found no way to override for some letter combinations. Therefore, there are the new key combinations on the webextension side. Even there, you need to test which letter combinations are free to be used. But once found, those should be guaranteed to work (?) by the new webextention support of TB. If those don't work, please let me know.
actually, the old style alt-G does not work because I erroneously set alt-G in the new commands as replacement for G.
On my German PC, the new shift-alt-G for go back does not work becaue it seems to be in use by TB, but shift-alt-L works for go back.
But if I set the new alt-G to something else, the old alt-G for go back is still grabbed by TB and it does not go back. So it seems at the moment, go back needs to used with a new command
FWIW, I set my "Go Back" to be Ctrl-g in the Nostalgy Preferences only (no shortcuts defined at all yet for Nostalgy in web extensions/Extension Shortcuts to avoid confusion while testing shortcuts). That's by now TB ver. 115.9.0, Ubuntu, English, Nostalgy 4.1.5.
thanks, I can confirm this works on German Win 11 as well.
I'm using just "Q" for the "go back from folder" option, and it's working well (French windows 11 system with a German keyboard). I'm so used to it by not, that probably I would keep it, even if ALT-G would work again ;-)
The shortcut "ALT-G" with the action "go back from folder" is not working anymore, at least on my system (TB 115.7.0 Nostalgy++ 4.1.4) When tapping ALT-G I get the same result as just tapping G : the Nostalgy input field at the bottom opens and waits for typing in a folder. When I chose a different ALT-letter combination for the "go back from folder" action (e.g. ALT-Q), then just nothing happens. When I chose only "Q" then also nothing happens. So final conclusion after tests : the "go back from folder" action does not work anymore.
I think that this problem is not new in the 4.1.4 version but has already existed before
