Ctrl+<KEY> in the Quick View window executes a bound command instead of selecting text or navigation

[Fla$her]

Bind any command (e.g. cm_SelectAllBoth) to Ctrl+A, execute cm_SrcQuickInternalOnly,cm_FocusTrg from the command line and press Ctrl+A.
Instead of selecting text, you will see the execution of the bound command.

Added:
I think the reason is the Ctrl modifier, since the same thing happens with Ctrl+F. There is no such problem with hotkeys without Ctrl.
Some plugins (for example: CudaText, IniEd, PEViewer, etc.) intercept the control of hotkeys, so they don't have such a problem.

Not a bug, a question of priority: Should a hotkey apply only when the focus is on a file list, or always? This has been discussed in many other threads before...

[Fla$her]

I disagree. Why then, without changing the hotkey, Ctrl+A not select the list, but select the text, as it should?
And why Shift + Left/Right/Home/End//Up/Down/PgDn/PgUp select text instead of executing the commands associated with it?
The same applies to Left, Right, Home, End, Up, Down, PgDn, PgUp, which don't execute commands, but use navigation.
The same applies to A, S, V, W, 0-9, which don't execute commands for the list, but continue to perform Lister functions.

I 100% agree with Chris here this is NOT a bug but getting what you wanted.

[Fla$her]

I definitely didn't want the hotkey to execute a command in an inactive list, ignoring the text selection in the active text field.
Carefully read my answer confirming the inconsistency with what ghisler(Author) wrote.

you set up a hotkey to a cmd. you press the combo, the cmd was executed = not a bug. CASE CLOSED

It's not up to you to decide. I suggested that you read my answer carefully, but you either didn't do so or deliberately ignored the irrefutable reasoning in it.

[ghisler(Author)]

It's difficult to decide which commands should override hotkeys in other controls and which not. For example, the user may want to define a hotkey for cm_focusleft to focus the left panel, and it should also work in quick view.

[Fla$her]

A very simple solution is to disable in the quick view window the execution of custom hotkeys that work in Lister by default, let the rest work.
Otherwise, it turns out that 31 keys or a keyboard shortcut work on Lister, but those 4-5 where Ctrl is used don't. It shouldn't be like this.

The same problem remains with wlx plugins, some of which don't allow TC to interfere with the redefinition of keys, and some do. Let there be the same behavior for everyone.

All of this is just l'art pour l'art and completely unimportant, pointless poking around.

Just my two cents

What is unimportant and pointless for you, for others it is the daily necessity of expected behavior in working with text.

[JOUBE]

... daily necessity of expected behavior in working with text.

How long have you been using the Tc? And are you only now noticing this? Then “daily” can’t be right. So, you are kidding...

I'm far from always reporting bugs as soon as I find them. They can get in my way for years. There are other issues that I haven't reported yet.
So no kidding.

The Only Question is why is this Fred still in the bugs forum

[petermad]

I tend to agree with Fla$her

I think that the user can expect Listers shortcut keys to work when displaying non-multimedia files in QuickView AND the focus is set to the QuickView panel.

There are only a few Ctrl+ shortcuts in Lister:
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+F, Ctrl+P, Ctrl+LeftArrow and Ctrl+RightArrow - I would expect them all to work the same in Lister and in focused QuickView even when remapped to other functions.

BTW Ctrl+P does not work in QuickView <viewtopic.php?t=80659>
