Strange keybindings interaction between GtkNotebook and ephy
Last modified: 2016-10-07 21:28:01 UTC
This is a followup of bug #344364 latest comments. Both GtkNotebook and Ephy use alt+left/right keybindings, one for reordering tabs (only if the focus is in the notebook tabs), and the other for navigating through history. Somewhat inversely to bug #344364, when the focus is in the tabs, I'd expect those keybindings to reorder them, but ephy goes back and forward in history instead, until it's in the first or last visited page. I understand why those keybindings are set globally to the application, but it would be nice if that exception with the notebook tabs were done.
I don't understand what exactly the bug is... Alt-Left/Right is a global menu keybinding and in gtk, those always take precedence...
Moving Severity:enhancement bugs off of 2.20 target.
I can reproduce this bug...In this case gtk keybindings for Alt-Left/Alt-Right taks precedence only if the back/forward buttons are unsensitive. Who is that controls Alt-Left/Right to change page back/forward? Epiphany or gecko?
Ah I see, you have to focus the tab label itself. IMHO it's a gtk bug that it steals these keypresses ... :( Epiphany controls Alt-Left/Right. But to fix this in ephy, we should do as bug 350342 comment 4 says: > However, to avoid key binding > collision, the EphyNavigationAction code would have to check whether the > notebook has the focus (and hence, one tab label widget) before moving > through history.
Hi, the bookmarks code has been rewritten from scratch. When you have a convenient opportunity to test the new version of the code (which will be present in Epiphany 3.23.1) please check to see if your issue is still a problem, and reply here. Thanks!
Hi, this is a mass close of all bugs in the NEEDINFO state. If you think this bug was closed improperly, just leave a comment, thanks!
