Edit shortcuts stopped working !

(1/8) > >>

Hello everyone,


First of all, since this my first post here, I would like to thank everyone involved for making sure CB is as good as it is. I've been using it for about 8 years on various systems and I had no absolutely issues until now.

Anyway I haven't used CB in about last two months but today I wanted to test out some code I typed previously in plain text editor. When I tried to paste the code using CTRL-V nothing happened, so i tried with rightclick menu - that worked.
 
I restarted both CB and my machine - that did not fix the problem. After that I installed the latest version (20.3) and moved the config folder but that also did not help.

Upon further investigation i discovered that CTRL-C, CTRL-V, CTRL-X and CTRL-A (copy,paste,cut,select all) shortcuts stopped working in CB.

Also i cant change ANY keyboard shortcuts in settings, nothing happens when i press CTRL-* it doesn't register the other key, just CTRL (* is any latter, for some reason numbers and some chars do work)

Interesting thing is that all the shortcuts that do not work are NOT listed in keybind config files (for e.g. CTRL-S saves the file correctly as it should.)
I suppose they are managed by the OS and that's most probably where the problem is but i don't have the knowledge to solve it.

I'm running CB20.3 on Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon, the problem occurs only in CB so far.

This is one of the strangest software behaviors I saw, so any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance and stay safe.

IIRC, the mouse sap plugin might be a possible cause. You could try turning it off.

Also, you might mention the desktop software being used; I have no idea what desktop Cinnamon uses.
I would also mention the wxGTK version information.

Edit: I just found out that Cinnamon is a desktop.

Hey thanks for the quick reply,

I just tried to disable mouse sap plugin, that did not solve the problem.

I'm relatively new to linux, so I'm not exactly sure what do you mean, afaik Cinnamon is the desktop software?

Also i'm not sure how to find the wxGTK version?
