            Bug ID: 386265
           Summary: Shortcuts from used KParts plugins conflict with app
                    shortcuts
           Product: kate
           Version: Git
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: plugin-preview
          Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: kosse...@kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

When previewing a document with a KParts plugin which has actions with
shortcuts, those will conflict with the shortcuts used by the application
itself. Which typically are the shortcuts of the action for the KTextEditor
view currently active and any extensions activated for it.

The KXMLGUI framework, as used by Kate or KDevelop, seems not yet prepared for
this challenge: having a central view whose actions are also all integrated in
the main menu and having a additional tool/util view with additional actions
which are not integrated in the main menu. Where both have shortcuts and might
even have the same, like for copy or search actions.
When the tool/util view has the focus, one would assume its gets activated for
the registered shortcuts, while if any other part of the app has focus, its
shortcuts are ignored/secondary (unless unique). Not sure, needs more thinking.
