1673425 - Firefox does not respect hotkey preferences while running under Plasma

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect, P3)

Description

[pshirshov]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:82.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/82.0

Steps to reproduce:

KDE 5/Plasma allows the user to redefine all the hotkeys, including navigation and text editing ones. E.g. a user may redefine "Find" action to Meta+F, "Copy" to "Meta+C", "Go one word back" to "Alt+B". This can be done through standard Settings application.

Actual results:

When I redefine any text-editing and navigation hotkeys in KDE settings (e.g. "Copy" to "Meta+F") and press such a hotkey in Firefox nothing happens.

Expected results:

Firefox should respect user-defined navigation hotkeys (or let the user to customize them).

Hi pshirshov,

Thank you for your report.

I don't have the specific software to test this on my end but as a starting point I'll add a product and component in the hope someone from their team can take a look and advice.

Can you please download Firefox Nightly https://nightly.mozilla.org/ and test if the issue still occurs there as well?

Regards,
Virginia

Hi,

This is irrelated to Cocoa/macOS, I've reported from Mac but I've been speaking about KDE on Linux.

It's the same on nightly.
