Bug ID: 459571
Summary: Ctrl+/ is a duplicate default shortcut for two
distinct actions
Classification: Applications
Product: kdevelop

OS: Linux

Screenshot of the Configure Keyboard Shortcuts window showing how Ctrl+/ is the
default shortcut for two distinct actions.
SUMMARY
Ctrl+/ is the default shortcut for two distinct actions in KDevelop, which
results in users not being able to perform either action from shortcuts. These
actions are "Toggle Comment" and "Switch Header/Source".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Do a clean install of KDevelop
2. Open any project or document
3. Click on the code editor to focus it
4. Press Ctrl+/ shortcut
OBSERVED RESULT
A message box appears indicating "Ctrl+/" is an ambiguous shortcut and
requesting the user to go to "Settings > Configure Keyboard Shortcuts..." to
resolve the issue.
EXPECTED RESULT
"Toggle Comment" should have Ctrl+/ as its default shortcut because this is the
most widely adopted convention, used by C++ and Qt developers by default in
software such as VSCode and Qt Creator. A different shortcut or no default
shortcut should set for "Switch Header/Source".
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Fedora Linux 36, Linux kernel 5.19.10-xm1.0.fc36.x86_64
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0
Qt Version: 5.15.5
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Customizing either action to a different shortcut results in user being unable
to replicate the issue because the program prevents duplicate shortcuts from
being assigned. The attached screenshot shows Ctrl+/ is the default shortcut
for two distinct actions but one of those actions has already been customized
to something other than the default.
