GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 577505
ctrl-D is keyboard shortcut for disconnect and delete folder
Last modified: 2018-07-01 08:41:19 UTC
When connected to a host using SSH2 (though I'd guess this was true of any connection method), when I right click on a folder, a list of actions pops up. Among those are disconnect, which lists its shortcut as ctrl-D, and delete, which also lists its shortcut as ctrl-D. Actually hitting ctrl-D does the disconnect. Having both of these actions have the same shortcut seems problematic.
changed disconnect from Ctrl+D to Ctrl+W the change was made in a temporary repo as rev. 1001, see https://orbit.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?root=gftp&rev=1001&view=rev (repo info announced here: http://archives.seul.org/gftp/users/Mar-2010/msg00004.html )
I have found that the "Ctrl+V" shortcut is mapped to the "Remote->View" menu item. This is the standard "Paste" shortcut, so the menu option should have a different one. Maybe I should open a new bug report, but as this is also related to keyboard shortcuts I thought it might fit is as a comment to this one.
hi Lucas check out the latest code from the above svn. Ctrl+V was already fixed in this repo as revision 997: https://orbit.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?root=gftp&view=rev&rev=997
Great! I hope to see these improvements in a future release of GFtp
Created attachment 270053 [details] [review] Fixes for accelerator button collisions I see that there has been no activity for a while, so here is a patch. This patch fixes all accelerator collisions in gftp. I have made some different letter choices than the repo mentioned in previous comments. This for consistency between local/remote tabs and to catch one more collision (there were multiple Ctrl+R entries): Local View from Shift+Ctrl+V to Shift+Ctrl+W Remote View from Ctrl+V to Ctrl+W Remote Disconnect from Ctrl+D to Ctrl+I Transfer Retrieve from Ctrl+R to Ctrl+T Transfer Put from Ctrl+P to Ctrl+U Also fixes Bug 637925 where Ctrl+V couldn't be used for pasting in gftp.
gftp is not under active development anymore and has not seen code changes for many years. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gftp/commits/master The maintainer states that "I would like to hand this project off to someone compotent" on https://www.gftp.org/ Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
