Shortcuts… about qtextpad HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm hesitant to deviate from QKeySequence's standard shortcuts without replacing its use everywhere... I haven't decided what to do about that yet, but I'll probably end up looking into Qt's sources at some point to see how bad the shortcut situation really is.

[...] but not Ctrl+U to delete a line.

I've never seen Ctrl+U for deleting a line... What editor(s) are you seeing this in?

For reference, I looked at:

• kate: Ctrl+U capitalizes the current letter or selection; Ctrl+K deletes line
• gedit: Ctrl+U capitalizes the current letter or selection; Ctrl+D deletes line
• Notepad2: Ctrl+U lowercases the current selection; Ctrl+Shift+D deletes line
• vscode: Ctrl+U is "soft undo"; Ctrl+Shift+K deletes line
• clion: Ctrl+U is "goto supermothod"; Ctrl+Y deletes line
• qtcreator: Ctrl+U selects the current bracket range; No delete line that I could find

As you can see, not a whole lot of consistency here... I'll probably just pick one, but which one might depend on whether I refactor all the shortcuts or not.

QKeySequence is OK; it's easy for me to replace it with sed before compilation; it's automatic with my PKGBUILD.

As for the Ctrl+U binding, sorry, I've seen it in the above link: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qkeysequence.html

By the way, have you seen my #8 (comment)?

And seemingly Ctrl+U is used for underline as well!

After digging into the sources a bit, it looks like Qt actually does the right thing, but only when the desktop correctly reports what it is through XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP (and of course only for DEs that Qt knows). As an example, when running on xfce started standalone over VNC (which is a common use case of mine), xfce-session does not correctly set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, meaning that the platform support plugin treats the app as "Generic Unix" rather than "XFCE". Setting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=xfce(or the equivalent for your DE) causes the shortcuts to be mapped correctly, as well as affecting other desktop-specific settings such as toolbar icons.

Yes, I know, but setting XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP to something has some other adverse consequences if I recall correctly, but I don't remember what they were. No big deal; sed is my friend.
