I understand and I expected this to be a hard one to fix. It's just that based on this comment of Vlad: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480490#c7 I got the impression that Kwin sends everything it got / has bout the actual physical keys that were pressed on the keyboard. And I'm pressing the exact same keys on the keyboard as I do when the layout is in English. As changing the layout cannot actually change the keys on my physical keyboard, at least at the moment. Maybe in the future that would be possible if the keys are mini-screens or the whole keyboard is a touch screen. But that' not the case here and Kate should have everything it needs about the physical key that was pressed on the keyboard. The other bug has been closed with the 'downstream' status and Kate is downstream and luckily made with the same Qt and part of KDE. So in a way, not a bug seems a strange status for this one, but I guess it's ok for a hard to fix problem. For Italian layout at least, I thought something could probably be done as, like I said before, the CTRL++ and CTRL+- does nothing so doing something is better than doing nothing, especially in this case where they are not anyways assigned to do something else. So for this layout I think that both CTRL++ and CTRL+- combination plus the CTRL+} and CTRL+? combination should zoom in / out. CTRL+0 seems to already work, so there's no extra shortcut to allow for that action. For German I think it's unfixable at the moment since there's a conflict of shortcuts and the conflicts of shortcuts with the layout changes are currently not handled. I wonder how this behavior is handled in Windows, but unfortunately I don't have it on any computer to see. Thanks for the workaround! Unfortunately I forgot about as I'm more used with the keyboard shortcuts because of the web browser and because using the mouse scroll wheel tends to jump a bit more than what I want / need, so I normally prefer to zoom in / out from the keyboard shortcuts, if possible. Anyway, I hope I'll remember the keyboard + mouse workaround for the next time. BTW, one more thing, since this is a very hard to figure why zoom / in / out doesn't work for a program, when the keybord layout is non-English, it would be nice if a notification would appear somewhere about why it's not working. With Kodi I remember it took me a few months until I figured out the the layout being non-English was the culprit for not allowing it to become full screen anymore when I pressed the \ shortcut. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
