SUMMARY
Related to bug 468101 ("There are two actions (Quit, Close Current Tab) that
want
to use the same shortcut (Esc)"), which was closed as WORKSFORME for lack of
a
reliable reproduction. I can reproduce this reliably and consistently.
It happens exclusively when previewing a .md file in Krusader's built-in
viewer
via markdownpart — never with any other file type previewed in Krusader.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krusader
2. Select a .md file and preview it (F3), so it renders via markdownpart
3. Press Esc
OBSERVED RESULT
Two dialogs can appear (screenshots attached), neither dismissable with Esc
itself
(only via mouse click on OK):
1. "There are two actions (Close Current Tab, Close Current Tab) that want to
use
the same shortcut (Esc). This is most probably a bug. Please report it in
bugs.kde.org."
2. "The key sequence 'Esc' is ambiguous. Use 'Configure Keyboard Shortcuts'
from
the 'Settings' menu to solve the ambiguity. No action will be triggered."
EXPECTED RESULT
Esc should behave consistently, same as with every other file type previewed
in
Krusader.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- In Settings > Configure Shortcuts, "Close Current Tab" is bound to Ctrl+W
and
Ctrl+Esc only — NOT to plain Esc. Closing tabs via those shortcuts, or the
mouse,
works fine.
- No custom/duplicate Esc shortcuts exist in ~/.config/kdeglobals or
~/.config/krusaderrc — this is not a local shortcut misconfiguration.
- This only occurs with .md files (markdownpart). Other file types previewed
via
Krusader's viewer do not trigger this.
- Likely cause: markdownpart merges a hidden/duplicate "Close Current
Tab"-style
action bound to Esc into the GUI only while its preview is active,
colliding
with Krusader's own tab-close action (which is otherwise on
Ctrl+W/Ctrl+Esc).
ENVIRONMENT
- Krusader: 2.9.0 (2:2.9.0-2build2, Ubuntu package)
- markdownpart: 25.12.3-0ubuntu1
- OS: Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (Kubuntu), Plasma 6.6.6
- Kernel: Linux 7.0.0-31-generic
