Hi @ARASHz4,
Would you mind posting some example code so we can better understand where your problem may be?

@calebhalvy
I do this in designer.
I create a action & set a shortcut for this & added into menu bar but shortcut don't work in ubuntu

Are you using Unity ?
Most likely it has an issue again :)

Do the Creator shortcuts work?

ARASHz4

@mrjj yes i'm using unity

@ARASHz4

so you tried 2 separate created test-cases?
If so this increases the chance that one has ambigious shortcuts defined.
In such a case an activatedAmbigiously() singal is triggered instead of activated() signal. Which doesn't trigger the shortcut, but gives you a chance to react to it instead.
Or QEvent::Shortcut/QEvent::ShortcutOverride, when using events.

@ARASHz4 Someone in another thread has the same issue. I'm thinking it's probably a bug with qt 5.7.1 and linux. Or at least specific window managers in linux.

Update: Just tested it myself and for sure it's a bug in 5.7.1 with Linux. Please report it.
