macOS: Standard keyboard shortcuts based on CMD (⌘) not working in value input fields
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Inkscape 1.0beta1
- Paint an object of your choice
- Switch to the select mode and select the object
- Now activate a value input field and select the value, for example the field containing the horizontal coordinate of the selection in the Tool Controls Bar labeled X:. The value in the field should now be highlighted
- Attempt to cut the value by using the keyboard shortcut ⌘X
What happened?
The selected object on the canvas is cut into the clipboard instead of the highlighted value from the input field. In essence the keyboard shortcut triggered by the CMD (⌘) key was sent to the main window instead to the tool bar.
What should have happened?
The highlighted value of the input field should have been cut into the clipboard.
It appears that this misbehaviour is true for many (I suspect all) of the input fields in tool bars, panels, widgets, dialogs, etc.
While the correct macOS keyboard shortcuts were activated for the main window with issue #763 (closed), it appears that the same problem still persists for the value input fiels. Please note that the for macOS incorrect keyboard shortcuts using the Control key do work in value input fields like ⌃A, ⌃X, ⌃C, ⌃V, while the correct ones using the CMD key ⌘A, ⌘X, ⌘C, ⌘V are all sent to the main window instead.
