Solved QtCreator: Alt + E shortcut doesn't work
-
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)
.
