Description Davide Nifosi 2019-04-26 18:46:47 CEST

Description of problem:

In the Replace pane of Kwrite there's a Replace All button which should also be linked to the Alt+A keyboard shortcut; while clicking on the button works, the keyboard shortcut doesn't. I've tried this on another PC with Arch Linux (same Kwrite version) and the shortcut works fine.

Please note that I've also tried the localized shortcut (in the it_IT locale it should be Alt+T, but that opens the Tools menu instead; in Arch Linux it's Alt+A that works).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 19.04.0


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Kwrite
2. Bring up the Replace pane (Ctrl+R) and type anything in the Find and Replace fields
3. Press Alt+A; the expected result would be to replace all found text or at least show the Replaced x occurrences message, instead an 'a' character is entered in the text field in focus, as if the Alt modifier had been ignored

If you install kate does it work now in kwrite?

No, it still doesn't work, and it's the same in kate now that I've installed it

Installed Beta3 and all updates as of today. 
In both Kwrite and Kate  alt-A works
Using Plasma. 
In Plasma - System Setting - Regional Set. - Configure P. translations :
at top "no languages available on this system"
below : 1: Am.Eng(default), 2: Br.Eng 3: dansk (=danish)
in Regional Set. - Formats : Region= en_DA Time= sv_SE .
The latter has probably nothing to do with Alt-A

Thank you for your info.

I created a new user to make sure it wasn't because of some non-default settings, but the issue remained. However, when I changed the regional settings to American English Replace All worked correctly! So yes, it's definitely something linked to the it_IT locale.

I've tried all possible combinations with Alt+letter: most of them just enter the letter, some open one of the menus, and Alt+S activates the Replace button ('Sostituisci'); the Replace All button ('Sostituisci tutto') either doesn't have an associated shortcut or it's overshadowed by another button or menu shortcut
