Description Tobias Mueller 2012-09-11 13:55:38 UTC

The keyboard shortcut of Adblock Plus to list items to block has changed recently from Ctrl+Shift+V to Ctrl+Shift+U. This is annoying, because that shortcut is taken by GTK+ to input any unicode codepoint.

I expected to be able to open the list of blockable items with a shortcut.

I will forward this upstream.

Comment 2 Russell Golden 2012-09-11 20:09:06 UTC

Upstream's response:

>Unfortunately, detecting that a keyboard shortcut is taken by GTK isn't possible. And keyboard shortcuts that are left unassigned are way too few to replace Ctrl-Shift-U by something else. So this is most likely something that I can't fix - you can change the hotkey in your installation however.

Looks like you're out of luck, bud. Sorry.

Comment 3 Tobias Mueller 2012-09-11 21:23:06 UTC

uh.
Well, it doesn't only put me off, but all the people that run adblock plus with GTK+. So that's barring all GNU/Linux users from accessing that window quickly. I consider that quite a bold move. And FWIW: GTK+ is using that shortcut for as long as I can remember. So it's not about "detecting whether that shortcut is taken by GTK", one can really assume that.

As I've said, it used to be Ctrl+Shift+V and AFAICS this shortcut is now not taken. Neither seems Ctrl+Shift+B. Nor Ctrl+Shift+C. At least they don't produce visible effects on my installations.

So I guess I'll try to change it back to Ctrl+Shift+V on my installations, but it'd obviously be cool if I didn't have to do it everytime I do a new installation somewhere.

Anyway, I appreciate your efforts, thanks.
