Bug ID: 512023
Summary: ALT activates menu instead of capturing Slavic latin
script
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version First 21.12.3
Reported In:
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
To get this character for example: "@", using
Serbian/Croatian/Slovenian/Bosnian etc. keyboard layout, one must press ALT +
V.
On Linux, in Kate, that works fine.
On Windows, pressing ALT activates the menu selection - so you can't get it to
insert the character you want.
Note that other text editors in Windows, like Notepad++ for example, don't have
this problem.
For me this was problematic enough to ditch Kate on Windows - and I don't like
switching between different editors.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On Windows, use Serbian or similar Slavic latin keyboard layout and start
editing/writing some text.
2. Press ALT + V
3. Instead of "@" character showing, your menu will get activated.
OBSERVED RESULT
Menu gets activated, instead of @ character getting inserted.
The same problem goes for any other special ALT + LETTER characters ([]@{}€
etc.).
EXPECTED RESULT
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11 Pro 64-bit
