Copyq: Shortcut to show clipboard content not working on Ubuntu 14.10

[lepalmtree]

Hi,

When I try to show copyq with ctrl+shift+c (or whatever shortcut I assign like ctrl+b), nothing happens.
Also, eventhough I'm using a french keyboard layout, the shortcut manager still takes my inputs as it were a qwerty keyboard. For example, when I try to assign ctrl+², it puts ctrl+`, same for ctrl+é that get ctrl+2.

I can try to give you logs if you tell me how to do it.

Regards

I still have the problem with the latest version (2.4.4 Ubuntu 14.10 amd 64). Any idea why the shortcut isn't working ? Or how could I help you solve this issue ? I really like (and need) copyq, I use it in my everyday work.

You can try to edit the shortcut manually in config file.

1. Close application.
2. Open ~/.config/copyq/copyq.conf.
3. Find X\GlobalShortcut option where X is number of the command (you can find the command name as X\Name).
4. Change the option value to Ctrl+Shift+C.

If anyone is interested in fixing the shortcut-grabbing code, you can start at this line which retrieves Qt::Key from key event (it calls platform-dependent method -- Ubuntu code).

Also note that shortcuts can be grabbed with new Qt class QKeySequenceEdit (since Qt 5.2). But last time I checked, it didn't capture some modifiers well on X11/Linux.

Actually, as a workaround, you should be able to map any shortcut directly in Ubuntu preferences to run copyq toggle command to show/hide the application window.

It works by using Ubuntu preferences but not by modifying the .conf
file. It'll do this way, thank you

I done some fixes for shortcuts in recent version. Though some shortcuts may still not work on some keyboard layouts.

This worked for me! Thanks!
