Keyboard Shortcut Problem

[spyder-bot]

From steve.f....@gmail.com on 2010-12-14T12:12:33Z

One of my keyboard shortcut randomly quits working. I have remapped "go to line" to Ctrl+G. I can either restart Spyder, or go into the preferences and map it to another key and then remap it to fix the problem.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Unsure how to reproduce. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? spyder 2.0.4, python 2.6.1, Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below

. I believe there was some other Ctrl+G shortcut originally, but I've remapped that to something else.

The original Ctrl+G keyboard shortcut is associated to the 'Go to definition' feature.

Yes. I remapped that to a different key sequence.

Have you had any chance to look into this? It's causing me a lot of heart ache.

I can't reproduce this bug: I'm assigning "Go to definition" to Ctrl+J for instance and then I'm attributing "Go to line" to Ctrl+G and it's working. I'm quitting and restarting Spyder and it's still working.

Could you try and find out a sequence of actions that triggers this bug?

I'm not sure if this matters, but I attempted to map "delete line" to
Ctrl+Shift+D and the shortcut is not working. The only shortcut I've ever
had issues with is the delete line shortcut, so maybe that's half of the
problem with being able to replicate the issue?

I just realized Shift+Ctrl+D is mapped to "switch to online help". This is
probably why mapping that key sequence to "delete line" didn't work.
However, the conflict warning code did not catch this issue, and
Shift+Ctrl+D failed to open online help.

It's 1 hour and 15 minutes later and I decided to try to use Ctrl+D to
duplicate a line. (Spyder has not been restarted in this time) It instead
had reverted back to deleting the line. I have now mapped "delete line" to
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+D. Both "delete line" and "duplicate line" are working with
their respective shortcuts. I will see if they continue to work or "delete
line" resets back Ctrl+D.

I've noticed yet another odd symptom. I will be editing in Spyder and it
will lock up and quit responding for 30-60 seconds. After it stops being
locked up, the "delete line" shortcut has remapped to Ctrl+D.

Ok, so let me answer to your comments one at a time:

Comment #5: actually, it would be really convenient if you could use the Mercurial version, as you would be able to use either the stable released version (like you are doing right now) or the latest development version (which is by the way -and that's why I'm heading this way- is already including a bug fix regarding the keyboard shortcut conflict detection for a few weeks now!). This would considerably reduced iteration between your testing and my recent developments.

Comment #6: like I mentioned above, in the development version, the conflict is detected and there is no real problem with changing the "Delete line" shortcut.

Comment #7: wow, that is really an unknown bug and I would be really interested if you were able to reproduce it.

I updated to 2.0.6 earlier this week and all these issues seem to have gone away. Hooray!

I spoke too soon... don't close this ticket.

I discovered a new bug that was triggered while investigating this. I detailed it in Issue #527 .

Ok, I'll fixed this asap.
But regarding this keyboard shortcut issue I must say that I don't have a clue of how to handle it (and how to reproduce it).

This issue is still occurring. I'm not really sure how to go about debugging it either. Can you think of any event that would cause the key bindings to revert to their defaults?

I've also noticed that I'm losing some other (perhaps all?) custom keyboard mappings. I was just trying to use Ctrl+G (which I had mapped for "go to line") and it's not working.

Hi, I am attaching myself to this bug because it reflects my observations, too.

I am running the latest Spyder 2.0.8 on both Windows XP (32bit, latest PythonXY) and openSUSE 11.3/11.4 (64bit, Python 2.6/2.7).

I have assigned custom keybindings to match those from KDE apps which I frequently use (Kile, Kate).

The keybindings work OK but get lost as soon as I drop files from a file manager (Explorer or Dolphin) into Spyder. Then, immediately, the shortcuts are reset to default values.

A restart of Spyder fixes it temporarily, until the next file drop.

Would be nice to have this fixed :) Otherwise, great great application. I LOVE the variable explorer!

Hi, I just noticed, keybindings are also killed/reset when files are opened the regular way, at least on WinXP.

[spyder-bot]

From pierre.raybaut on 2011-03-09T09:01:46Z

The fact that this bug is occuring after opening files does really help me reproducing the bug and understanding where it comes from.

I should be able to propose a fix really soon.

Status: Accepted

Beautiful, thanks for this quick fix!

How can I apply the changed file? I did a clone with
"hg clone https://spyderlib.googlecode.com/hg/ spyderlib"
but the setup.py fails, as does clonebuild.py:

mada@dionysosPRO:~/bin/spyder> python clonebuild.py
abort: repository spyder-2.0.9 not found!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "clonebuild.py", line 27, in
os.chdir(version)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'spyder-2.0.9'

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

The clonebuild.py script is not intended to be used by regular user, so it's not expected to be working out-of-the-box.

The setup.py on the contrary should work as is.
If not, please post the traceback.
Thanks!
