QtCreator: Alt + E shortcut doesn't work

[Tarae]

Hi,
I want to set shortcut Alt + E to delete line in QtCreator. So I set it:

But it doesn't work. When I pres it, the edit context menu is opened.
Any idea, how to fit ix?

Hey, try this

Search shortcuts for "Edit" and if you find, it should have the shortcuts Alt+P, Alt+E
Try edit and remove Alt+E so that there is no duplicates and check if your shortcut works then.

No, my "Edit" doesn't have any shortcut set. And if I try to set something, it doesn't help.

I discovered, this is problem only when language of Qt Creator is set to English. In other languages everything works fine.

It feels like in English "Alt+E" is default shortcut for Edit and cannot be removed. Similarly "Alt+F" is shortcut for File and I can't remove it neither. Or can be in your Qt Creator?

My Qt Creator is 4.11.2, English, Linux.

Hi @Tarae,

as the mnemonic are fixed in the menu, I don't think it's possible to use Alt+E as your shortcut, except you take Qt Creators source code, modify the menu and recompile yourself.

I solved it by creating qt creator plugin that contains qt_set_sequence_auto_mnemonic(false).
