After the xz-utils hack, I waited a week and then downloaded a new snapshot of openSUSE Tumbleweed to reinstall openSUSE on several machines. I tried setting up the keyboard shortcuts to clear the keyboard with a specific command, something I have been doing for the past several years, and it now does not work on all three machines (Lenovo, ASUS, self-build). I am quite confident this is a bug, as it seems I can change the keyboard shortcut, but cannot apply it, and it is consistent.
DE?
Which shortcut?
How?
Hi,
I am not entirely sure what you are referring to when you say DE. If you mean KDE, then yes, your assumption is spot on. I should have mentioned that initially. Essentially when I copy text, in the KDE environment, a little notepad icon (the clipboard) pops up on the bottom right-hand side of the screen. If I left-click the notepad, I have an option to set keyboard shortcuts for the clipboard. Usually I set a combination of keys that cleared the notepad in the past, so I didn’t have to manually use the cursor. Now I am not at all able to set the keyboard shortcut to clear the clipboard. No shortcut I set saves. Please let me know if you need any other information, or if a screenshot would help.
First, please do not use the Preformatted text button </> for a normal story. Makes it difficult to read.
Then: with DE one means Desktop Environment. You did not inform us which one you are using: KDE Plasma, Gnome, XFCE, …, there are many.
That could mean, that this shortcut is already used by another action/program…
Crosscheck with systemsettings → keyboard → shortcuts
Hi Hui,
Does not seem to be the cause. Furthermore, it never happened before with that particular combination. Since we are dealing with keyboard shortcuts, they should simply be over-ridden if there already existed a specific assignment. If this is the way it operates now, it would be a change from how it operated before, and not one particularly well thought out.
I am sorry, does anyone know how to change the reply from defaulting to this ridiculous single-line on these forums?
I didn’t think I was, I simply hit ‘reply’ and began typing.
@phys1 you keep hitting the tab button by the looks…
I didn’t think I was, as ‘tab’ is a little awkwardly placed on this keyboard, but I will pay attention to that bit and make sure I avoid it! Thanks for the suggestion!
