Custom Hotkey for "duplicate symbol" not working
Description
I set a custom hotkey "C" for the schematic editor for "Duplicate Symbol". This does not work.
Hitting "C" will not copy/duplicate the symbol regardless if it's highlighted/selected or by just hovering above the symbol.
Assigning another key for this function also does not work.
Expectation is that hitting "C" will duplicate the symbol. (This works fine in Kicad 7.x.)
It seems to be isolated to that function as assigning keys to other random functions and hitting the hotkey will invoke the assigned function for these.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Kicad's preferences
- go to Hotkeys
- assign hotkey to "duplicate symbol" in section "Schematic Editor"
- go to schematic editor
- place some symbol
- hover mouse over placed symbol or select symbol
- hit hotkey for "Duplicate symbol"
- no duplicate is generated
