Buttercup-desktop: Search bar does not appear when using the ctrl + f

Created on 22 Apr 2021  路  9Comments  路  Source: buttercup/buttercup-desktop

Hi, i an using buttercup 2.2.0 and when i press ctrl + f the search bar does not appear. I tried version 1.20.5 and it works fine.

I am using linux debian with KDE.

Another thing is the copy buttons in an entry, in the previous v1 release they were all vertically on the same column. that made them easy to click. In the current version they are after the entry's width. (This was solved)

@perry-mitchell I had this happen to me for a long time, just figured out the cause. Running on Artix with i3 WM, the error speaks for itself:

Failed updating app menu after source change Error: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files

I created #1057 with a fix, would be nice if @FuridamuFaita confirmed if it works - if I remember correctly KDE doesn't ship with a gnome-keyring alternative by default.

This is covered in another issue: https://github.com/buttercup/ui/issues/52

This needs reproduction, but I don't have time personally to try it. I don't use Debian desktop nor KDE.

I think you just need to see what is the difference between v1 and v2, in v1 which i am still using, the search bar appears when i press ctrl+f, but in v2 it does not appear. How do i know the shortcuts ? maybe if i changed the shortcut to something else it works and the search bar appears. Right now in v2 all i can do is using the filter and its little bit annoying to have to click 2 clicks before i can start searching. Note that i tried buttercup v2 in GNOME and xfce and it worked fine, the search bar appears via the shortcut.

Thank you for modifying the vertical copy to clipboard buttons in entries.

There鈥檚 a lot of differences, unfortunately. But so far no one else has reported this issue, and the method we鈥檙e using to detect Ctrl+F is one recommended by Electron.

If you鈥檇 be interested in trying to debug it you could set up the development environment and add some logs to where the hot key is listened for.. see if it fires at all?

Can you confirm that you鈥檙e on the vault UI page when pressing ctrl+F, with nothing else selected?

I tried and disabled the KDE ctrl+f shortcut cuz i thought it may be conflicting with buttercup's shortcut but nothing happened. and yes i am on the buttercup's UI interface.

Meanwhile i caught this thing (i dont know if its an error or no) by chance in my terminal when running v2 (the latest version):

Great stuff finding this, thank you! Releasing a fix now.
