A user reported that many of his custom shortcuts were not working.
These used Alt-1, etc, as a prefix (e.g., Alt-1 M). Because 2.4 now
binds Alt-NUM to "Save bookmark NUM", that is not a surprise. What is
a surprise is that it does not seem possible to unbind this. Even if
I unbind Alt-9, say, it still saves bookmark 9.
Using -dbg kbmap does not give any useful information. Unbinding does
not seem to generate any messages.
The problem seems to be that the binding is declared as:
M-~S-9
rather than:
M-9
If I change it to the latter, then I can unbind it. So the unbinding
routine is failing to deal with the 'ignore' case. I.e., M-9 does not
match M-~S-9, so it thinks there's nothing to unbind. And it shows as
just M-9 in Tools> Preferences, and that's what it writes to the
user.bind file.
It seems to me we should just go ahead and unbind in that case,
whether the 'ignore' part matches or not. Thoughts?
Having looked some at the code, it appears that 'ignore' sequences, like
M-~S-9, do not really get considered in the shortcut machinery. They do
not get displayed in the GUI, or written to the bind files. (See
KeySequence::print.)
I would suggest we remove the ~S from the bookmark shortcuts. I don't
see that it's needed. Longer term, something more needs to be done to
the shortcut machinery.
