Some keyboard shortcuts do not work, while some others do (some users)
(Opening this issue as advised in #2432 (comment 950445662))
Summary:
Some keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl-C
, Ctrl-X
, Ctrl-V
, etc.) are not working in Inkscape 1.2, while some others (like +
, Home
, and F11
) are.
Steps to reproduce:
Conditions to trigger are a bit mysterious, see inbox#6977 (comment 955398317) and inbox#6977 (comment 996276309)
- open Inkscape
- draw a shape
- press
Ctrl-X
What happened?
The selected object does not get cut.
If starting from inkscape.com, you get these 3 error message on start-up
(inkscape.com:9664): Gdk-WARNING **: 09:43:59.821: Could not open registry key 'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\D0010409'. Error code: 2
(inkscape.com:9664): Gdk-WARNING **: 09:43:59.827: Could not open registry key 'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts(NULL)'. Error code: 2
(inkscape.com:9664): Gdk-WARNING **: 09:43:59.829: Failed to load keyboard layout DLL for layout D0010409: (NULL)
If you don't have similar error messages (the value D0010409 may be different for you), you're experiencing a different issue.
What should have happened?
The selected object should have been cut.
